In memory of Zukin

**Aslan** · 23rd June 2009, 20:44

folks - Zukin's daugher Gurl Racer has a post following http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=94569

about a memorial ride in the Coromandel this coming Saturday to honour the memory of her late Dad Scott aka Zukin.

The event will also be an opportunity to raise funds for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.

Those of us of the Adventure persuasion unable to make it to the Coromandel are able to make a donation to this cause whilst honouring Scott's memory.

Also - there are several rides here in the Lower North Island - Marks's RRRR and JMJ Wairarapa Ride where folk could show their respect for Scott.

Cheers Aslan

Best wishes from down here as well.
I really enjoyed his 2007 DB1000 writeup in the bike mag. Some brilliant photos there too.

Scotty was/is a great guy.
Each ride, I say "gday" to him, and ask him to watch over the crew.
If anyone knows about adv rides where ever he is, it's him.
See you round dude

Zukin organized the first kiwibiker ride I went on (the WWWWW which incidentally was exactly 2 years ago) and he went out of his way to make me feel welcome - which I really appreciated.

A video Zukin made chronicling his first 12 months adv riding...

Rest In Peace Scott

He certainly won't be forgotten, my first ride was also the wwwww ride and his enthusiasm and encouragement sure was catchy.

A great guy

RIP Scott

My first adv ride was the Makairo to Mount Dick in April '07. Zukin sorted that one also. Good bugger.

Thank you all for your support to a wounderful fellow member. I am thrilled that the Wairarapa are supporting him as this was home to Zukin. He had done some wounderful community work for a lot of people and did it with pride. The relay for life was a real road trip as I was the support driver what an adventure. He was a great organiser.
His daughter Gurlracer has stepped in to his shoes, he taught her well.
The family down here in Masterton are all leaving for the Coramandal on Friday as we have our own thoughts to be there with him. I placed a peom on a blog My Last Ride feel free to read it sometime. Thank you one and all for your support at kiwi biker a great bunch of folks. Ride safe and take care.

your son was a great man Nana Mac - watching the vid Scott made about his feeling for motorcycling (posted above by Marks) certainly touches my emotions - Scott certainly lived life to the max - a reminder to us all that its not a rehearsal - and he lived it in way that was considerate of others - may God bless you all this weekend as you remember Scott - Stephen O aka Aslan

Marks - thanks for digging out the vid and posting the link - a great testimony to Scott's life - cheers Aslan

Like everyone else, Scott isn't far from my thoughts each time I ride. I can't make the memorial ride this weekend, I'm sorry Lani, but I have my own little memorial ride each time I hit the gravel and think of the silly grin usually plastered over his face.
