Ron Balls R.I.P - fastfreddygassit - 17-02-2008
I dislike posting sh!t like this, but given the description of the rider, I can only think of one person.
And I hope to God it isn't him.
Does anyone have any info?

Yeah, when I read the report I didn't want to ring his mobile.
So my mate did and George unfortunately confirmed the sad news.
Then other people have rung up during the day.
This sucks big time
Ronnie was invincible.
My heart goes out to Faye and family.

I was there the other week talking to him about my mate that passed
away on new years just after picking his bike up from the shop an
he couldnt beleive it either.
The best wheelie ive ever seen my bike do was with ron riding it!
Il never forget it.

RE: Vale Balls - Rev - 17-02-2008
Tragic news......I am lost for words, I last saw Ron on the run home from Jindy, he shouted me lunch at Myrtleford....now this. He was always there to lend a hand & I will remember him for his generosity & helpfulness towards people in general & particularly fellow riders with bike problems.
A larger than life character who will be sadly missed.
RIP Ron...................Condolences to his friends & entire family.
RE: Vale Balls - Beestroyer - 17-02-2008
Just got a phone call from a friend telling me this.
Ive ridden with Ron many times and was a regular of his service when i owned the Busa. He was always helpful, full of advice and a truly great guy. This is a real shock.
RIP Ron. My greatest condolences to Faye and all the family at Balls.
I hope his business continues in his name.
RE: Vale Balls - BUSGO - 17-02-2008
I am so sad to read this tragic news for all our Victorian mates and Ron's family and friends.
R.I.P Ron. Although I hardly new him but for a smile and a shake of the hands, I know that he had total respect from all his mates and associates.
