It's with deep sadness and sense of loss that I regretfully pass on the news that our much loved Farrider and Iron Butt Senior Malcolm Milne passed away yesterday, Saturday June 14, of a suspected heart attack.

Details of his memorial will be posted once known.

Sad news indeed.

I first met Malcolm at Nundroo Sth Aust. enroute for my 3rd Border Run. Arriving at sparrow fart, cold as hell waiting for the servo to open, from the motel rooms around the back Malcolm appears.

Introducing himself, he immediately made me feel at home and in fact, invited me back to his room for a much welcomed hot coffee or two.
I could be wrong but seem to remember it was his first Border Run anyway, it was certainly my first one riding Kwakatoa.
We chatted about our 1400GTR's, LD riding and we shared a special time getting to know each other.
The servo opened and we went our own ways.

Over the years we always had a catch up whenever we could and even had the chance to ride together for a short time enroute to the 2011 Euston FarRide. He called me a slow coach, cheeky bugger.

Malcom was always ready with a friendly smile and a quick gibe, being in his presence life seemed to be that much easier and carefree.
A special gent with a passion for two wheels.

I'll miss you mate.
