Rastus was theeee most hardcase cat...

he & Max shared a cuppa tea every morning, & Max had Rastus so well trained, so that he would only eat his food when he heard Max say a certain word.. & even if he slipped the word randomly in the middle of an unassociated sentence.. Rastus would hear it & then eat his dinner!

I met them in ChCh in 95, when they lead the SPCA charity ride. Rastus was such a staunch dude!! & Max a really lovely guy.. genuine salt of the earth! It says on the 'Rastus fan club' badge that I have on my badge board.. that they had travelled 100,000 miles together in Canada, USA & NZ. When travelling, they were on a BMW K75-RS.. which is what they were riding when they were all killed. Rastus was tucked inside the tankbag when travelling on the BMW. From what I remember.. a car load of hoons was coming around the corner, & was well over on the wrong side of the road.. & hit the bike head on. I still have their funeral video here somewhere!

Incredibly sad that these sort of Icons that do so much good in the world, are the ones that seem to get wiped out!!!
