My partner Grub .. I will always love you.

[EJK]

Never met but seen many posts.

I'm sorry...Don't know much to say really...

[rottiguy]

That's news of the crappiest kind Kari, heard of the bin at out last fuel stop but never knew how bad it really was.

Stay strong and remember he was doing what he loved.

Keep looking after yourself in this time of need and draw on the strength of friends around you.

Kind Regards
Colin

Not sure what to say - Ive never posted in a RIP thread before.

I've only known Grub online - but he has always come across as a guy with a huge sense of humor, and a love of life.

Im sorry very for your loss.

"I close my eyes and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Aint it funny how it is,
You never miss it til its gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will de til my dying day"

[Daffyd]

I can only add to what has already been said. I never met Grub, but feel as though I've lost a family member. RIP Grub!

Kari, I only just read this awful, awful news. Honey I'm so very sorry. I just don't know what to say.

If there's anything we can do or anything you need - anything at all - please yell out. Please. Anything we can do to make this easier to bear.

My thoughts and love are with you xxxxxxxx

I'm not a mirage, but posting here as Spankme kindly granted me a new log on. (thanks)

I didn't think much could ever tempt me back but I had to just to say how terribly terribly sorry I was to hear this news..... Kari - - ah bugger it - I'm sorry for your loss - you guys were a pair.... Damn bad business, and very sad.

all our love - Paul n Vicki

Kari, I cant say anything to quell the pain you must be going through. Whenever I saw the two of you together I could see how much you cared and loved each other. I am truely sorry for your loss and if you or anyone wants or needs anything let me know! I know how much you have helped me in the past and I hope I can help you. Take care, lots of love.

Rest In Peace Grub

Yesterday I was on the same Capital 1,000km Cruise as was Grub.

The day was perfect for riding, with the North Island turning on an outstanding spring day. The mountains were spectacularly clear, the countryside lush and green, the roads largely clear and clean and petrol the cheapest it has been for some time. It was a day that no biker could not enjoy being out riding in. It is days like yesterday that bikers live for.

Unfortunately Grub was not able to complete the ride and enjoy sharing the experience of it either at the Petone Workingmen's Club, or here on Kiwi Biker.

Everybody else got home safely, and for that we are blessed.

Motorcycling is about millimetres and nanoseconds. It is intrinsically dangerous, which is a large part of its appeal to those who enjoy it. While we all strive to ride within the limits of our skill, there are times when things can and do get out of shape. Sometimes we're lucky to escape with just a moistened crotch area, sometimes more damage results. On other occasions an off can be fatal.

I'm not sure that I believe in luck. I think we make our own. We've all of us had close calls, sometimes more than one. Grub was no exception to that.

We cannot imagine what you must be going through, Kari, but our thoughts and love go out to you.

It just goes to show you with all the wonderful comments on here how much you and Grub were loved and admired, and always remember that if there is anything you need I am here for you like alot of other KB members are so all you have to do is just ask and we will be there for you ok?. Takecare Kari and my heart goes out to you at this very sad time in your life. Cheers Skip.xxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm extremely shocked and saddened by this Kari. We were at the scene for some time and could never have imagined the outcome. So very sorry.

[Clivoris]

Too many friends taken in too short a time.
I've only known Brett for 3 years and believe that I was only starting to scratch the surface. An intellectually curious, good natured, thoughtful, straight talking, generous and all round good bastard. Over the last few months he also managed to restore some order to the VMCC accounts, and with Kari, developed some costings for the Manfield National round and next years Winter Series.
Absolutely gutted to lose another mate and good bastard. I hope our support helps Kari.

[Shadows]

I'm sorry Kari.
