Bluehonda (Brad) has Ridden On
« on: February 18, 2014, 09:07:30 AM »
It is with Great sadness and a lump in my throat that we have to say goodbye to one of our wonderful members Brad (BlueHonda).
Member Profile: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?action=profile;u=176

As informed by Dick and Chris, Brad had a sudden illness that took him from us far to soon.

He was a fantastic member, and someone who flew the Riding Safely Flag, and was always there if someone wanted  advice on how to be a better rider., he will be missed.

Keep safe Brad and God Bless.

So sad. Condolences to family and friends.

I am shocked and saddened by the loss of our valued member. My sympathy to his lady. Don't know what else to say, other than I am sorry.

Condolences to Karen and family from Pitstop and myself. Too damn quick but quick means no suffering so may Brad be resting in peace now. God Bless Him.

My condolences to the family...


I think a big turn out is needed to send him off in a proper manner....
Chris heard the terrible news from Karen earlier this morning, Karen will advise soon of the arrangements and we will post accordingly.

Karen advised that Brad spoke of OzSTOC & the Blue Knights motorcycle club often and along with his family and sailing these where his passion.

Pockey  :'( 
Quite a shock and definitely the wrong result we were all hoping for.

Prayers and well wishes to Brad's family and  to us, his friends.

That is terrible news.  My heartfelt wishes go out to his family and friends in coping with such a sudden loss.

Very sorry to hear of our loss.  I trust those near and dear are comforted at this sad time.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I am in shock. Brad was fit and full of ideas for riding safer and he gave me sincere and useful riding skills advice in my comeback to motorcycling. And Karen also such a positive person. Condolences to Karen and family.

You know i was only thinking about Brad this afternoon, I first met him with Teela when we where on our way down to National Rally 2012, he turned up with his son on board, and we met at a little coffee place not far away from home, we must have sat there for an hour talking bikes, how they handle, and tricks i could use to make riding easier, I found myself putting them into practice on that trip, and I still use them now.

He was so free and easy to talk to, he has rung me more than once with an idea of something we could do to benefit the club, excited to see if we could do something.

Does anyone else have a good Brad Story?

Ashes to Ashes,
Dust to Dust,
Brad Had a smile,
That you could trust.

So, I'm begging you Lord,
With tears in my eyes,
Let him ride his Blue Honda st1100,
Through Heaven's Skies.

RIP Brad. Condolences to his family and those that were close to him.
Could we do something as a collective for Karen? Maybe chip in to have someone maintain her yard for a while or something equally as practical.
Just a thought.
