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.
