Steve was an amazing guy, I will always remember him for his kind and patient nature.
He was loved by many and respected by all, both on and off the medieval battlefield.
He will always be missed and will always be remembered.
I get paid tonight will spare all I can.

Worth checking out, but they normally only stump up when the death is by accident. They can go to Work and Income, there is normally assistance through them.

The guy is an icon, although he does drive a ford

I've only known him through the Wednesday night mentor rides, he gives his time, knowledge, advice, guidance to everyone, he makes a point of knowing everyone by name and treating you as if you were the only one there.
A classic example, last Wednesday I accidentally 'placed' my bike on the curb while helping set up an advanced cone course, Mac was more worried about me and the bike than I was, he helped get me back up on the horse so to speak, dusted me off and off I went - still couldn't get round that tight course but I blame my longer wheel base muhaha.

mac is

A genuine good star! Mack has been a shoulder to lean on when I've needed it in the past. Awesome bloke!
He's passionate about what he does, and goes the extra mile.

Bugger it - this is one of the many times when I wish I'd just won Lotto. Unfortunately being in Brisbane means hefty bank fees for any transfers. I'll be able to make a contribution next week, however, when I'm in NZ.

When my Mum died the house was filled with flowers, easily a coupla grand worth. Dad and I were touched, but to put it bluntly, we both wished it was socially commonplace to give money towards funeral costs instead.

Best wishes to all for the funeral, I hope there will be a motorcycle guard of honour if that's requested. Always a moving sight.

Bugger....want to help but have just found out I have a $10,000 legal bill to, pay that I was not expecting...long long story so will see what I can do to help............maybe I can help in other ways??

HAHAHAHA...i remember that night. I did offer you the spare bed at my place but it kinda would have sounded a bit odd explaining it to Mrs MDU......

I spent the night at the house of a Mad Duck I met off the Internet dear !

Yes, I've been wondering about that too...running errands and suchlike...a lot of organising goes into funerals.

It does but I have to go to Rotolegless Friday to Sunday for work........going by bike of course having signed a disclaimer..........

But maybe there are things that some of us can do afterwards to help, based along the lines you say cause I am happy to get off my arse (

) and help where I can

All we can do is offer and then leave it up to him to decide.

I know he checks his PM. I'll send him one now.
