4robs is finished

Rob - I know you will do whatever is necessary to get the workshop up and running again - best of luck with that.  I also have sent a few dollars to help with the kids at this time of year.

Wonderful community eh!  People wonder why I like VMX so much!

cheers

Hey Rob,

I just checked out your website and OMG !!! However - what has happened has happened and I hope I can help.

As part of 'Operation Phoenix' please contact me off forum if you wish re moulds etc if you think they are in any way salvageable. I can see a good use for the new water/vapour blaster that I will have in mid January - just get everything soaked in oil in between NOW and I am sure someone on the forum could truck em back and forth for ya !!! If they are reasonable lumps of steel they should not be too affected at all.

Cheers mate.

Magoo..Unfortunately I'll be in Adelaide that weekend but I'll talk to Comrades Jones and Phipps to see if they can hoist the KK flag at your bikeshow gig. I'll talk to you via landline over the next couple of days to see what assistance we can throw at you.

No wuckers Santa, I mean Firko.
I've actually been contacted by a KTM big knob who wants to remain anonymous, and he has donated a shit load of KTM umbrellas, posters, t shirts and all sorts of other stuff to be raffled. Also, some bloke over there named Jeff something or other (Leisk) will be signing some bits and pieces of real value to raffle as well. This will not only be a great way of helping a fellow VMXer in need, but will be a shit load of fun too.

That's a great idea Magoo. I'll talk to the ACT lads at the track on the weekend and see if they're up for a day trip to Sydney. Could be a fun way to spend a Sunday I reckon.

[holeshot buddy]

spoke to rob today he is a good mate
and he is obviously shattered about the fire
he was all set up for a big year next year
but now its all gone
he told me he moved out to the farm for his kids to ride and friends
but he has lost that much that he might have to
move back to suburbia
keep the funds going and if anyone thinks of
anything else we can do then post it on the forum
its gunna be tough but i reckon the family will pull through this setback

cheers rusty

Hi Rob,
Keep your chin up mate, it will only get better. As you can see you have a lot of friends [some of whom you have never met] who will stand behind you.

I don't have PayPal so a cheque is in the mail today - and as Magoo said, make sure you spend it on your family and not on replacing somebodies part.

Magoo, you are a bloody legend [as you have told me, over and over again]. Sunday the 14th sounds like a great day for the VMX Community to get together and raise some additional funds. Come on guys…

faaaarout mate i dont know you either but it gives me the horrors to think about it.thank goodness your all safe, all the rest of us are wondering how fire safe are we.any how keep breathing and keep the dream alive,wally.

I'm up in Nth Qld, and won't be able to get to the 14th, but I'd be very proud to get something signed by Jeff "somebody".  Do you reckon $100 would be enough?

Hang on 4robs, it does make you stronger, cherish your family, you've got lots of mates you haven't even met yet!

I've posted a few more pictures of the damage on www.4RoBs.com.au

Not trying to be morbid, just trying to share it so I can get over it.

Thank you again for all your support.

Firko, are going to pull some strings with your mate at the North Pole?
I've been thinking. I know, I know, I'm not very good at it, but I've decided to get a Vintage Dirt Bike show and shine going on Sunday 14th December which will be a fundraiser for Rob. I'm thinking sausage sizzle, beer to sell, a few raffles and anything else we can think of. I'm happy to run it from my place (I've got about 10 acres of sporting fields behind me). There's a carpark we can use and a barbie to cook on. Who's up for it?

Magoo that sounds like an awesome idea.

Count me in, will try and get some Motorex for the raffle.

Hope all the Sydney side VMX guys will support it, as all the proceeds will go to Rob

Cheers Damo
