    1. For Hunter(his son) to have and read and see what a great man his daddy was/is
    2. For all that would like to relive the great times and see behind the man
    3. As my tribute to LB

    I can just hear LB as i write this up saying (yeah i'm cool, they writing a book about me)

    Anyone that has stories photos about him pm me and i'll msg back e-mail address

    Take care all and safe riding and look forward to hearing from you

    My Aim is to have the book completed by dec 2

    thats awesome man, bruce was truely a legend and there are many humorous stories to tell i will pm ya one when i have a moment, although alot of them are already in the origional tributes thread so that would be a very good start point.

    R.I.P bruce , we all dream of even being half the rider and bloke you were.

    Thanks for all the support for the book it means alot

    I was wondering if anyone had objecttions to me pulling stories from the tribute thread to use in it. there are some mint and classic stories there.

    no objections from me and i am sure nobody else would mind... that thread shows what a great man he was and all the stories and feelings around that time came out in that thread

    Hitchers' a member alright. He's also a moderator and could help you with grammar and punctuation.

    Hitcher is surprised to see his name mentioned in despatches.

    Count me in for an order of the finished product. I never had the privilege of meeting the man himself, but stories abound about him. Have read a few of his posts on KB and thought he sounded like a top bloke just from them... so I'd very much enjoy reading a book all about him and his exploits. Good on you mate.

    When my mother died about 10 years ago we, the family, put together a book of stories she told us while she was ill. It was only a smallish booklet form but was way cool in the end. Cover photo was taken by me even!

    We sold these for $5 a book and donated the money to a breast cancer cause. Surprisingly we had to do a re run.

    To me as her son this is something tangible that I can have and pass down to my kids. Not to mention just flick through now and then.

    Great idea and good on you for taking this on....
