I've been out of the loop & just got back from interstate to hear this shocking news, too sad for words really.
Rocket was a terrific bloke you could always trust 100% on any ride & we certainly did a whole lot of that together over the past 6 odd years. One particular Reefton run I did with him will remain firmly fixed in my mind forever.
I also liked to hear him talking about his exploits on his GPz750 turbo all those years ago amongst many other entertaining & amusing things in general. Rod was very serious about his riding & a bloke I would describe as being a fair dinkum motorcyclist par excellence & always one willing to lend a hand with advice here on the forum or anywhere else for that matter.
To Rod's family & friends I extend my sincere condolences at this very sad & difficult time. RIP Rod.
