Funeral - Allan (Binnsy) Binns

[Big Marty]

Moving Tribute

Got home about 9pm all safe and sound, got a bit of rain more like fairy piss the last 20km.

T/C said it all and could have been said any better. After a 720km return trip, and as usual a bloody good pace set by Bruce, turning into the last street before home, a thought came to mind that we all have heard or said on many occasions.

Only the good die young, ride on Binnsy, passed but will never be forgotten.

Thanks guy's for representing us at the funeral and wake, I regret that I could not be there and truly appreciate what you have done for us that could not be there.

There is definitely something about rocket riders that is different from the norm and I am sure Binnsy new this because I sure do.

Must point out the rockets were the first bikes to get the Dragon place, after all we knew we couldn't wait all day for the Harley's and Jappers, na just kidding, just a good pace set by Bruce

I only knew Binnsey from this forum and the PackRats rides,his funeral was a very fitting tribute to a well respected and a much loved individual by many.
A real Rocket man, RIP Binnsey.

This is an update; still not too late to join in and support this fine and worthy commemoration of the life of one of our gentler brothers.

I have to say that I'm especially touched by the generosity of some people; and not just those who put in a little more, but also those who put in a little more than they really could afford. It makes me proud to be part of this wonderful community and to be able to say so many 'strangers' are my friends. You will notice a fair smattering of donations from overseas - specifically US and Canada. How good is that!

Several people have also offered to add to what they've already put in, if it is needed. But hopefully it won't be......
