No worries,..he was an awesome dude and will be remembered forever.

[GurlRacer]

You did an awesome job dude :D

[Trudes]

That's awesome, well done Nudey. Almost felt like being there for those of us who couldn't. RIP Brett.

[MsKABC]

A very moving tribute, well done :) Fantastic to see all those bikes there to give him such a great send-off.

[Clivoris]

That was cool man. Thanks. Good to have a wee cry.

You are not wrong. I didn't even get to meet Grub , but he was one of the KB posters whose posts I always read seriously and appreciated. I still can't quite believe it, and am shocked at how personally this hit me. So when I think about what Nasty must be feeling it makes me sick.

[jtzzr]

That was indeed an awesome tribute.

[Number One]

Twas a great ride to be part of and the whole day was a moving and very fitting tribute to your lover Kari. Was great going down the motorway bikes stretched out for miles ahead and it were a lovely day too.

:hug:

All tributes are fitting in their own way, but it saddens me that someone has to die for there to be tributes...

I agree! Saddens me more when there is intolerance of peoples grief at times like these too mate, Grub was much to many here, and is sadly missed indeed.

Like all of us, he was many things. And we, here, were just a part of his life.
Grief must run its course, and that's different for all of us. I cannot understand those braindead-types that think 3 months is 'time to be over it'. One can only assume that they have never experienced a death that close, or that they have a 'wiring' problem.

Very nice. I saw you guys go by, my thoughts were and are with you.

Agree with you there. I had to turn the life support off to my father just 3 weeks before my 21st birthday so I know what it's like to lose someone close.

It even quite sad for me to do this but thought I did the right thing.

You certainly did! It is always hard to lose a mate. You have helped create a lasting memorial to him, and also to show others that may have wanted to be there but were not able to, what happened. It shows me another perspective too, thank you.

[elle-f]

Absolutely beautiful.

Hugs Kari

Thankfully the sad, f*#@!d up and cold people are not the majority.

Braindead, wiring problem, down right rude and bullish...whatever the reason I have NO respect for people that think they have a right to tell others that they should 'just get over' any person in their life dying.

Kari, Grub was a friend to many on here and we know you are doing so much more than what others faced with the same situation would do.

I take my hat off to people like you and 'The Guzzie Widow'. Ladies your strength and determination to make sure that something positive results from YOUR loss to help others is staggering. I am regularly lost for words due to the selflessness and generosity you have both shown in the sharing of your stories and the efforts you make to try to make things better and safer for all of us on the road.

MUCH RESPECT :hug:

[Nasty]

Nudes did an awesome job ... and it is well appreciated by more than me and I am thrilled by that .... that some people don't know how to appreciate the value of life is a real tragedy ... I personally don't think it was depressing I thought it was really awesome that so many people participated ... and that so many people actually care! that is a farking amazing story ... in a world where often people don't.

[fLaThEaD FreD]

Tributes like that bring you back to reality......

[Str8 Jacket]

I personally don't think it was depressing I thought it was really awesome that so many people participated ... and that so many people actually care! that is a farking amazing story ... in a world where often people don't.

This is the least depressing thing to come out of his death and those that think its depressing obviously have never been through any pain or anything heartbreaking in their lives, lets hope that they can live in their tiny little cotton wool box behind their PC forever...
Thanks Nudez and Kari for sharing this! I was a part of that tribute ride as were so many others and it is awesome to have something to remember that day.
Grub meant so much to so many people and anyone that thinks that any of us, least of all you K should just move on after only 3 months is kidding themselves. Uncle B died over 2 years ago and I still think of him most days.

[Hawkeye]

A brilliant tribute Nudez. I was lucky enough to have known Brett and was on that ride. It still seems strange when his smiling face isn't there on the Wed night rides. But I know that he will always be looking after Kari.

Thank you for sharing the Vid (and Brett) with us Kari.

[ynot slow]

Truly impressive to watch,seeing the effect Brett(and you)had on people is a tribute not morbid fascination.Can't be helped I suppose,but why not celebrate the life,not the death aspect,easy said than done but is true.

[coffeejunkie]

What a great way to share a life with others,
Well done nudes that video was cool, so much respect to grubb was showen by the turn out,
What saddens me is this "3months get over comments" that seam to be floating around......Grief is something we all deal with different, Nasty honey you take along as you need and say whatever you feel cuz thats the best way to help your soul,

Small minded people say dumb shit like that, If this small minded person/people have a problem then don't read or look at stuff like this,

My heart goes out to all the fellow KBers that have lost parents, kids, syblings and lovers, You are all strong people.

[Dutchee]

Kari, the question is often asked as to why someone had to die.
There is no real answer, but some of you folk who've lost someone close show a reason a person had to die.
Welshwizard, Guzzi-widow and yourself are among them.
I remember being really taken aback at your post to say Grub had died. I honestly thought/hoped it was a pisstake at the time.
I haven't seen any post about 3 months grieving, but everyone is different. A friend lost her brother 15 or so years ago, and every year, around the time of his death, we know she'll be a mess. It's better now she's got her baby, but she's not over it.
I still think of friends I lost years ago, but had they not died, I'd not have contact with them by this stage anyway.
Life goes on, yes, but that doesn't mean we need to forget.
Thanks for sharing your journey with the rest of us and wishing you all the best.

[sunhuntin]

3 months in terms of getting over grief is nothing. a close friend was murdered over 4 years ago, and i still get upset thinking about her. the heartache of a death never goes away... it just gets easier to bear. personally, i think ill cry every time i watch that video. theres nothing wrong with that. given i rarely cry, being given the chance to do so is a good thing.

[Mom]

I haven't seen any post about 3 months grieving

Yeah well, sometimes this message can be delivered in other ways though. I agree everyone deals with grief on their own special journey, it is our job to support them and each other through it, and not for some one to dictate when we should stop, or to even make comment about it really.

So true. Life does go on thank goodness. I doubt there are many my age here on this forum that have not had to deal with a close death. Some of us actually understand.

Actually that reminds me...I have some red bling to deliver :blip:
