Hope it was as good a day as it could have been to all involved.


Hats off to Chris C for all he has done to support the family and all
Darrens mates interstate...

Same to others who offered to pick up friends, or strangers to give em
a lift...

Well done


RIP Boky,
You had more friends than you knew

T'was a good day and a good ceremony.
Agg's eulogy was incredible and I believe that there liberally wasn't a dry
eye in the house! (It's very odd to be crying and smiling at the same
time).
They put Boky's helmet and gearsack on the coffin so we could all follow
that gearsack one last time as he was carried out to the chorus of 20-odd
revving motorcycles.
It was Agg's last paragraph that did it for me and I can't do it justice by
remembering it word for word so please feel free to correct me:
"I don't wan't you to rest in peace Boky. I want you out there revving the
hell out of your VFR and giving it heaps...."

Chris and Boky's schoolfriend Dr Marcus .... also delivered moving talks
and Agg also did a brilliant presentation of stills and video of Boky's
rides and drinks with mates.
It was very sad but uplifting too.

It was indeed. Couldn't ask for a better send off. I was also crying
and smiling at the same time.

There were 21 bikes doing the salute, I think I counted at least 8
VFR's. I'll remember that day, and the day of Boky's crash, for the
rest of my life.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting ****ed in the hotel pool afterwards too.
When I mentioned that my plans were "if I drink too much, I won't be
going back to Bris today" I was handed a beer

Yep, the pricks knew damn well what was going on too. If there are any
Qld cops reading this, ring those ****ing pricks in Warwick and tell
them what bunch of cunts they are. Chris, Hayden and Kelly had gone
to see them when helping to organise Boky's funeral. They had even
'offered' to stop the traffic for us.

When we got the lights in Warwick, bikes stopped the traffic so
everyone could go through as a group. Same thing at the roundabouts.
So they booked Gordo for crossing double white lines, then watched at
least a dozen bikes go through a red light where we had stopped the
traffic. FFS it was a funeral procession. You'll have to forgive me
for thinking that all traffic cops are cunts.

Great write up Clem.

Thanks.
