RIP DJ racing
« on: January 17, 2016, 09:45:13 pm »
This is the post I never thought I would be writing and would give anything to make it not true .
On Friday 15th January 2016 the world became a lesser place for my great friend and all round good Bastard Don Jamison DJ passed away suddenly.
Why why why

DJ was a huge contributor to this forum and the previous forum before it got hacked .
His contributions were always positive and he loved a debate, DJs side of any debate were always factual and well researched .

You would never meet a more genuine , caring Honest , loyal , funny ,generous , humble ,hard working and talented Person. A mate that always had your back and would give you the shirt off of his.

There is no justice in the world
 
Mate you packed more into your 52 years and brought more happiness into other people's lives than anyone ever could .

What ever you turned your hand to you took it by the balls and conquered it .not just a winner a true champion .
You enhanced the lives of everyone you met and had the ability to make those of lesser abilities feel like champions to.
Inventor , innovator, debater ,coach , team mate , artist , athlete and even a bloody ambulance driver and nurse .
Who hell is going to keep me out trouble now and negotiate bail conditions and deal with customs etc .
Half a point , half a bloody point now I will never get a rematch .
DJ you have left a huge void in so many people's lives .
Knowing you made my life so much richer and the memories of our adventures I will share forever.

Wherever you are my friend I know you will be making it a better place .
Miss you mate and I promise to try to live my life every day as a little bit of DJ
Ride on #78 DJ RACING
Its only old bike racing FFS get over yourselves

Ah fork.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Although I only met DJ once at a Conondale CD I can only say that every word that TM Bill says is how I found him. A true VMX'er in every way he will be sorely missed. My thoughts are with his many mates, from both sides of the ditch, and of course with his family.

RIP DJ Racing and roost well in Valhalla #78

Sorry to hear about your good mates passing Bill. Never had the pleasure of meeting him but if he made such a difference to your life that you were moved to such fond words then he must have been a top bloke and that is good enough for me. Our thoughts are with you Bill, all his mates and especially his family, may DJ  RIP

DJ sounds like a great bloke Bill .Condolences to you and his family. For what its worth Bill you are a great bloke too and all my dealings have been top notch with you too !! A good kiwi friend of mine that frequents WA says you are a great racer too......he recalls seeing you at a big modern meet on an RM125S doing ridiculously well .....keep riding and enjoying life TM Bill !

Yes, doesn't seem fair. What a privilege, to have had such a character and friend that you describe of DJ in ones own journey.

A wonderful vmxer with a 125 yamaha build,a click of his camera and a shed build can confirm Bills words.
Check forum member DJ Racing and youll get to know a guy that will be remembered for a long time and sadly missed by many.
Deepest condolences to Karen.
RIP kiwi Don.
Best is in the West !!

I never met DJ however I always enjoyed reading his posts. I've had a little contact with Bill over the last few years and it's genuinely moving to see the respect Bill had for his friend. I've read your comments a couple of times Bill. All class. J

Very sad news indeed. I met DJ at Conondale a few times and found him to be a top bloke. He will be sorely missed. RIP DJ.
