For what it's worth to poor Rob and his family my thoughts are with you buddy.

Given my job as a firefighter / Station Commander with the NSWFB I see and talk to people first hand on a regular basis who have lost their possessions to the ravishes of fire, and only those who have experienced it can fully understand the sense of total loss these families face.

Given my other work and a shed FULL of machinery, tools (toolmaking, engineering mechanics etc etc) and bikes, parts etc I wouldn't know where to start but Walters advice is apt - doors will open and I trust you all were unhurt which is the main thing.

Does anyone know how to set up a collection fund?

As members of the motorcycling fraternity it's time to help Rob out. We all shell out silly money at times for bits and pieces and rely on guys like Rob to supply long forgotten so I'm up to give the can a bloody good kick if one is available.

I'm with Magoo re "Leith" who certainly had his insensitive selfish prick hat on when he made that post.

Leith - just a suggestion mate - post an apology as I am sure it was something you surely didn't mean (did you?)

Rob, if you are reading this cover everything with as much WD40 as you can spare and get things undercover where possible.

Good luck Rob and firmly take hold of any hand that is offered in help.

so sorry to hear of your losses Rob, the main thing is that yourself and family are ok.

I also agree the VMX community CAN do something, i think i can arrange for donations to be sent to the QVMX club on behalf of Rob to be forwarded to him by Christmas, lets say everybody gets on board and we say in 2 weeks time so they have it spend before hand.

Cheers

Trev Perren

Allright guys, lets make it happen!

Sorry Trev, didn't see your post before mine.
Hope everyone else agrees, but I just thought it might cost him a couple of bucks through Pay Pal, but at least he and his family get it straight away.

Oh God guys. What can I say. I've just got back from the shed. There are some pictures on my website. Nothing is savable. - Even the old bike frames are twisted. But guys we are down but not destitute. Anything helps but there are people worse off than us.

Love

Hey Rob,

start to your new riding gear coming your way, Merry Xmas.

But i was thinking hell, we could fill the new shed back up for you in no time given the amount of left over parts everyone has.

Great idea re the Paypal, let's all chip in to help Rob out. I know it's not a lot when you compare it to what's lost, but I hope it gives you a kickstart on the road to recovery.

All the best, mate!

Funny thing about Rob. When I was talking to him this morning, the guy was very emotional wondering how he repay everyone else who had lost stuff in the fire. I had stuff up there, as did quite a few others, some with many thousands of dollars worth.
I'm happy to send some money under the proviso that he uses it for himself and his family to get back on track. I'm not interested in the stuff I lost, we can all share the pain just a little to help a really good, honest bloke and his family out of a shit time.
My old mate Chivo had exactly the same thing happen to him a few months ago and at the time the future looked bleak, but with a good network of mates and supporters he's coming out the other side slowly. The same will happen to you Rob.

Pretty sure Leith's post was a little mis-interpreted guys. Curiosity about losing a rare item makes one ask such questions but sadly the timing was a little off :-\ Rob is damn nice bloke and the loss of other peeps parts probably hurts him more than the loss of his business and fire itself. Ease up and keep the aid coming guys, in such a terrible time this is brilliant and somethng which will make not only Rob feel a little better but it'll do your inner self the world of good also ;) open your wallet, beat off the moths and do something decent. I don't have much but PayPal is my next port of call :-\ I honestly can't imagine how it would feel and bloody awful doesn't even scratch the surface.
