Our dear mate Bruce"Magoo" McFarland passed away this morning after a putting up a short but courageous fight against cancer. On behalf of the VMX community I wish his family our sincere condolences. He'll be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.

I'm shocked and shattered by this terrible news!!!!! He will be sadly missed by his many, many friends.

I know we all have our own stories about this larger than life character, his crap jokes and booming, infectious laugh. He won't be forgotten.

Make sure you crack a 'cold one' as a tribute to a great bloke. And spare a thought and a prayer for Anne and his family.

Bruce, thanks for everything!!!

I too, am shattered with this news.  Words cannot express the feeling of loss when a good mate like Bruce leaves us.

If there ever was the embodiment of the "dinky-di Aussie male" it was Bruce.  Generous and loyal to his mates without question, irreverant, fair, funny, optimistic and most of all a fun person to associate with, Bruce will be sorely missed by the VMX community as a whole.

My sincere condolences to Anne and the McFarland family.

There aren't any words at a time like this.
I only met the bloke once but he made an impression and I'm sure his memory will continue to do so for years.
My thoughts too are with his family, especially the kids.

RIP

Let's make sure we all do what we can so that his family don't have to worry about the financial side of things for a while.

My sincerest condolences to the MacFarland family.
The world is truly a far worser place for his passing.
Magoo was one of the first guys I met at my first VMX race back at Dargle in  2001 and from that moment on we have had a lot of good times and laughs (normally over a can of beer or three).

All that those of us who knew him can do is focus on the good memories ,and embrace some of his great qualities in our day to day lives.

RIP Brother
