That is understandable Adel. But for those who wish to attend, the latest information on the processions is as follows:

The funeral procession will be leaving from.

LePine Heritage
Corner of Queen street and Maroonadah Hwy
Lilydale.

LePine are situated only a block or so from the Maccas, on the same side of the Maroondah hwy. So some people might like to meet a little bit earlier for a coffee at Maccas and then cruise up the road.
Can people please be at LePines by 10.30am, there is a car park around the back where we can line up.
Doug who is one of Rods best mates will be leading the bikes and riding Rockets Busa.
Doug is going to call the police to see if it's Ok, for the bikes to ride the prosession with out Helmets on.

After the service in the chapel, the bike procession will follow Rockets coffin to the Crematorium.

As soon as I saw the pic of the busa I knew exactly who you meant, amazing how quickly bad things like this can happen. RIP brother, hope the twistys are good up there
Condolences to all the friends and family of Rod, and thanks PA for letting us know.

yeah same here, didn't know him in person, just remember the photo with his black Busa.
RIP mate,
condolences to family and friends

Sunshine and I are meeting at 10.30 in the morning at Maccas in Lilydale for anyone else wanting to farewell Rod!

Farewall Rod.

May your fuel tank always be full, and the roads lead you to more happiness.

(Sorry I couldn't make it - the dentist decided ripping teeth out of my head was a better idea..)

A few of the bikes who attended Rod's Funeral. Pretty sad day all in all, despite how Rod would have liked it.

One of his mate's rode Rod's Hyabusa in the Procession to the cemetary. tagged with his fav Richmond colours!

His wife No1, gave a great little farewell, one full of cheek and pisstakes. One which I could imagine Rod having a chuckle over. Mostly though it was just gut wrenchingly sad.

That's Awesome Strika, excellent effort
