It’s with a heavy heart that we inform the wider OzSTOC community of the tragic passing of one of our own. STroppy (Terry) from the ACT was on his ST1300 returning from this years Boarder Run into S.A.

We offer our profound condolences to Terrys family and friends and our sincere sympathy to his extended OzSTOC motorcycle family who have shared some road time with STroppy.

We will advise when more details are forthcoming.

I picture STroppy and Saaz cracking a red and toasting old trips of winding roads and fine riding weather.

Reach out if you wish a chat or a more formal avenue.

A sad ending to a life lived in full. He was booked into Toowoomba and will be sorely missed there. RIP.

I didn't know Terry like many of you, but I did have the pleasure of spending several hours in our cabin at Border Village Saturday evening chatting about family, life and our experiences riding. Those two hours I will both cherish and also have feelings of regret. Regret that I didn't get to know Terry much earlier in my Ozstoc journey.
Terry was very much looking forward to catching up with his grandchildren in Adelaide and it's so incredibly sad the accident happened in these circumstances.
The Ozstoc family has lost a true gentleman and he will be missed by us all.
Sincere condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Oh dear! What a loss!

RIP Terry, you'll be missed. I shared a few rides, roads, chats and (of course) beers. You always had something worthwhile to say, but then I'll listen to anything.

Pics from the RTE to Silverton in 2021. Share you pics of Terry.

Awful news to hear, and we expect to drive past the accident site in the next day or so as we head west with the van. I'm dreading that part of our drive. Stay strong everyone and look after each other aw we grieve the loss of our friend in such tragic circumstances.

I've had the pleasure of knowing and riding with Terry over the last 12 years from my first encounter with the club in 2013 in Middleton along with a lot of the old guard as it were, some of whom have drifted off and others i am fortunate to still see.

I have great memories of riding over the paddock and back with Terry and Stephen leading up to Tassie in 2019 among many other rides.

A gentleman among gentleman indeed as Chris has so succinctly stated whose presence i will personally greatly miss.

Share you pics of Terry.

I have quite a few from over the years, but this is drone footage of him riding to the Eucla Telegraph Station last saturday morning.

Bodo,
May I have your permission to share this photo as part of Terry's funeral service?
If so, perhaps you could insert your name at the bottom of the photo so it can be properly acknowledged.

Bodø · « **Reply #17 on:** August 06, 2024, 11:54:36 PM »

Absolutely. Check your messages.

Gutted to hear of this tragic news. A good friend who gave me many fantastic and funny moments in life. RIP brother.

Came across this photo of Terry at the Mansfield RTE last year...

Williamson · « **Reply #20 on:** August 08, 2024, 07:10:48 AM »

Very nice pic. Terry as I’m sure he’ll be remembered, cheeky grin & smiling eyes.

Thanks Russell.

We drove past the accident site yesterday on our caravan journey to the west. I found it rather upsetting and confronting. There are still lots of motorcycles on the road. Stay safe everyone.

RIP STroppy. Such sad news. May I offer my sincere condolences. Dave (STraya)

Thanks to those who have reached out by PM in relation to funeral arrangements.

As a blanket reply, due to the nature of the incident there will be some delay in announcing this information.

Once we have it we shall post instantly in this post and on the FB site.

thanks.
