Cheers Rhino

It must have been extremely hard on LB's dad in the producition of this cross it was such a moving and emotional day After seeing Dale and hearing her talk and feeling her pain not knowing her nor daryl i wanted to go up to her and say something but no words could ever be enough to dull the pain LB talked about daryl so much when i was around him and with hindsight i really wished i had the chance to meet him sounded like a top bloke.

Once i have completed the book for LB i'll be putting a copy in a rainproof bag and leaving it at the cross for the boys to read but i'll only do this with both Parents consent and blessing

... nothing to really add here except respect - for the boys, and what's been done for them.

Hi everyone out there in KB land.....just wanted to say thankyou to you all for making Memorial Day memorable. It is so neat to see you all with your leathers and bikes.......me wanna go riding one day soon! Thanks also to Bret for the awesome ride, felt a bit like a totally emotional flying nun with those balloons! Since Daryls death I have released helium balloons specially for him on special occassions like his birthday and valentines day, complete with little messages inside for him to read at his leisure. Yet again my main mate has missed out on an event that was about him....makes me very sad. Blub blub, crying etc etc...... I hope you are able to enjoy some peaceful and thoughtful times at the crash site with your mates. And please, don't pinch any more of the easter eggs, I didn't leave the boys that much! Much luv, Dale

I hadn't planned to go, it felt too morbid, but I'm glad I did.

I rode down alone, as I always had before I went on my first KB ride, with Bruce.

Most of the people I saw there were the folks I think of when I think of Upper North Island KB, most of them guys or girls who had met or ridden with Bruce, or Daryl and who ride because they love it. On my way down I felt good, I enjoyed my ride, took in my surroundings and felt alive.

It felt strange on arrival, but the families of both guys appeared to be genuinely touched by the turnout and I'm pleased they left a touching memorial to the guys.

Hi Ben, genuinely touched is putting it mildly! I personally was absolutely stoked to see you all there. Like you, I felt strange being there, but knew that it was the right thing, for not only myself and Bruces family, but all of us to do in respect of some wonderful people whom we all sadly miss......

Oops, having another blonde moment.....I am sure you understand..
I am creating an album of memory for Daryl and would like to add in a section about team Muppet.... can some help me get some of those awesome muppet piccies of the team? You know, like the one Daryl has for his KB picture? Tx

Thank you to all you amazingly genuine people who attended this event. We were absolutely blown away by everyone who attended. Dale really says it all for our family too, we also felt very strange being there but as Dale said knew deep down in our hearts that it was the right thing to do for our awesome (very, very missed and loved) boys.

This was an incredibly hard, moving and very emotional day (something no parent should ever have to contend with) but for our families unfortunately was very necessary.

Bruces dad Steve handmade the boys double cross with so much love and emotion and a lot of 'Holy Water from the Heart' (a lot of which I'm sure soaked into the wood before he painted it) especially during carving the boys names on to it.

We are so pleased that we decided to share this event with you all and had the opportunity to meet more of our boys fantastic friends.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making it such a special day. Luv to you all Peggy & Steve

Hey there Dan, many thanks for the offer. Peggy has sent me a couple, but unfortunately they are very fuzzy (or is that Fozzy....) and are not suitable for what I have planned. Hopefully you have found the pics.
Cheers, Dale

As an idea I quickly created a Gmail account so I could set up a Picasa account which has on-line storage for Pictures for free,this would enable people to email this email with their pictures, then I or whoever has the password to could upload the pictures to a site anyone can view. I was thinking I could give the password to a mod or interested party such as their families.

http://picasaweb.google.com/bruceanddaryl gives a quick example.

PM me if there are any serious objections and I will remove it.

[Nicksta]

cool idea dude....
no objections there...

[Big Dan]

I agree with Nicksta

Fantastic idea and i'm sure it would get great use

Once again no objections

Big ups to you

[sAsLEX]

Theres the email bruceanddaryl@gmail.com if people want to start sending some pics in and I will keep an eye on it till my course ramps up and I will pass the info on.
