Oh man. That sucks. RIP mate.

Had a look at his site and theres a Xmas message video. Its longish and just a little poinant (sp). Looked like a great guy (was thinking of moving to welly for a start). I encourage everyone to watch it.

RIP Scott.

This is a sad story and not the least because he wasn't some young smart arsed squid. 30 years old and he did seem to be doing it all right.

Take care everyone.

While we are on the topic of fatalities, I have a railway background and yet again today we have had a fatality at a rail crossing this time in Goose Bay. Please take it easy around rail tracks and watch for trains, they cannot swerve to avoid you when you don't give way. This time it was a guy in a ute, but motorcyclists aren't immune because before Xmas we had a guy ride into the side of a train in the Bay of Plenty. Keep your eyes open, stay on your side of the road and give way when you are meant to. Ride safe.

When I read the start of this thread on 5 Jan I hoped it wasn't Scott. I'd talked to him a bit on this site but we hadn't met. After spending the morning passing the CBTAF course, and riding SH22 with a mate after - a most enjoyable motorcycling day, I log on to find out if it was Scott.

This is sobering news. Seemed a real nice guy who liked to do things right. Looked at his website and video, and this confirms what I thought. Tragic! Just one mistake in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the consequences are so final. I had only spoken to Scott via a keyboard but could feel his spirit in his words. Given the loss I feel, I can't imagine what it must be like for those who actually knew him. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace Scott.

Oh no this is horrendous news! looked at his web site he looked a nice bloke. It has shaken my family and I to read this thread though warming to see so many that care..RIP Scott

So very sad. To loose someone with so much potential is a loss not only to the family and those who knew him, but the country as a whole.

**soundbeltfarm** · 7th January 2006, 21:10

RIP mate.
condolences to all involved

Just watched his Xmas video, what a shame that someone with a lot to offer is gone at an early age. RIP

Hey Guys, have spoken with Scotts dad this morning, as you can imagine the family are devastated.

As hard as it may be for those of you that meet Scott, the family have asked that we do not attend the service.

His dad felt that gievn the short time that Scott had been involved with Motorcycles, and given that the rest of the family have no conection with motorcycles they would prefer for us not to attend.

I can only ask that you respect their wishes.

His dad said he would be happy for us to add our wishes and thoughts to a letter/thread.

If someone can start a new thread and we add our thoughts/wishes and comments over the next few days, I will print them off and take them to him.

Again, I ask you respect the familys wishes, despite your own feelings.

Dave (Firefight)
