I have been informed that RocketRod was a member of this community, so I thought I would pass on the information that Rod passed away after a brief illness on Wednesday night.
His funeral will be held in Lilydale this Tuesday at 11.30 am
Will bring up further details when I have confirmed the location.
Apparently it was one of Rod's wishes that he have a bike procession at his funeral, which is being organised.

Re: RocketRod has passed away -
Fuck!
The way Rod rode a muddaboik, my first thought was he had net with a spill. However it is obvious he has been A bit crook of late from the post. Having known Rod well enough to have it hurt, I intend going on Tuesday. I'll do as asked and go on the bike. Drop a note here if you are intending to do the same.
