Hello everyone, Just a foot note to this thread

I would like to thank Shoey for putting this bike up for sale to support Magoo in his hour of need. He had spend a lot of time, effort and not least of all, money on the bike and is a credit to him for such and act of kindness. I am sure Shoey, we will spend some time around it at CD 7 having a beer and talking of our lost mate.

I am proud to be the one to purchase it and will be running the bike with big "M" 's on it in recognition of our great mate, so look out for it at CD 7 and Crawford River.

I would also like to thank Ribbo and his lovey wife for meeting me with the bike at the local pub at Bulahdelah to catch up and have a beer at one of Bruce's favorite watering holes.

Personally I would also like to thank everyone that has helped in Bruce's hour of need. "It goes to show how much nothing more than a common interest (in this case vintage motocross) can bring out the love in people who have given time and money to help without question"

The one thing I will remember was that very statement said by Bruce when I seen him on the Friday before his passing.

Again many thanks one and all.

Shane

See you all at CD7

I'm glad the bike went to a good home Shane. We'll be having a Magoorita Party in the Kevlar Kompound/Team Husky area at CD7 to celebrate Magoos life. Be there or be square. ;D

A big thanks to Chris Cormack & his wife Mim for offering their hospitality on Friday night, which was a dedicated fundraiser for the McFarlane family, which was attended by some of the Viper boys. Chris spoke of Magoo in great respect & young Harry did a great job of passing round the helmet doing the collection, followed by a bbq tea, a few beers, a good laugh and an auction to follow, of which we werent able to stay for. The Cormack's Butcher donated the meat & made a personal donation in support, of which all were most grateful. Although we did not know him personally, from what has been said on this forum, we are sure that Magoo would be most humbled by everyones support & generosity.

Hey Guy's

We have been away for sometime and have just returned to Australia.

Thanks for the kind words Trevor.

a very special thanks to Shane for his exceptional support of the family in this matter.

Thanks to my great mate for delivering the bike to Buladehla.

As stated in this thread by others ,It goes to show how much nothing more than a common interest (in this case vintage motocross) can bring out the love in people who have given time and money to help without question"

I know its old new's but there are many , many good people associated with this hobby/sport , men's men whom Im proud to call friends and would stand with in any circumstance.
Stand we have and we will continue , only now we are minus one.

I look forward to standing around this bike with my mates , having a good old bench race over a couple of beers and sorry old mate it wont be VB.

Take care guys and god bless Bruce

You're a good man Shoey. Looking forward to catching up.
I was chatting to Mark A. about doing a shirt ( as he gets them done) with red backs on it and Magoo and maybe the #16 or something on the back for CD. Whatcha think?

Just a thought for CD7.Last year they had an award for the best CZ of the meet.What about a trophy in Magoo's honour for the best dressed Honda,as he was a "man of the people",why not make it a people's choice award?What do you reckon?
