I never knew him personally but he was always there for anyone who needed help or inspiration. Everything he did was with a unique style and grace. Where ever you are, keep riding and modding Bucko. You were always a motivation to me and to others. I wrote a post in the past that stated that "This forum was only as great as it is because of the amazing people in it". We will do our best to keep this place an amazing place to learn, mod, and just hang out. You will always be missed, but always remembered.
Ride and Mod in Peace Bucko,
We will Always Miss You,

i am normally god with words, but in this occation i just dont know what to say:/ he, like many other great people, impressed me with the ammount of power and joy he could put into simple things like a text line for the rest of us to read.
rest in peace, it was a honor to know you for this short time.

wow...i just searched for some of his posts on the forums...i don't even know what to say. i feel connected to the guy just from reading some of his posts...things like this add an extra dimension of grief, especially since this, or a majority of the forum, knew him to a decent extent. reading some of these really brought some tears down my face. bucko, rest in peace, my condolences and deepest heartfelt sympothies to the relatives/close friends.
...I really don't know what else to say. wow.

in honor of Sir Bucko....
i would have wanted to say a few words after these pictures but i just can't get over this....
i was so proud when he sent me a picture of him riding
i thought it would be appropriate to share it with you guys...
I personally didn't know the guy, but he was one of the people that welcomed me and many others to the site. He was always there when people had questions. You will be missed Bucko.
He was very helpful to everyone and contributed a great deal to this forum. He will be missed and the forum won't be quite the same without him.
When Bucko joined this site, he was an instant hit. Pretty much everone got on with him, and he was always good for a laugh. I'd been an Admin for about a year at that point, and Paul decided to let him help run the site. He put in a lot of effort, and we usually had a good laugh talking about Red Dwarf and Donkey/Midget sex. I remember one time, he got a free razor, and decided to try and shave his beard with it. The razor packed in halfway, and he uploaded a photo of himself with a perfectly shaven left side, and a big beardy right, perfect line up the middle. Not to mention his mastery of MSPaint! Bucko was always joking around.
When he won his court case, we saw less of him here. I thought the guy had finally got a break, a chance to take some time out and have a bit of fun.
What can I say that the other members haven't? That he died doing something he loved is a good thing. I don't know what Bucko believed about the afterlife, but I can say with 100% confidence that wherever he is, whatever he's doing, he'll be laughing. Especially if there's Midgets and/or Donkeys involved.
Bucko, I'm really gonna miss you.

I can still hear the sound of his voice coming through over SKYPE. Lee was always quick with a joke and a warm greeting.
His laughter was infectious--the kind that carried you along with it and tickled you until the tears came.
Lee was also very giving--often sending spare modding parts around the world so people could finish their projects.
I don't like many people in this f.u.c.k.e.d up world, but I liked Bucko a great deal.

I really don't know what to say - I never got to talk with him much, but it's clear from his presence here that he was a truly unique (not to mention talented) soul. If there's a bright spot in this, it's that he died the way he lived - riding one of his beloved bikes.
We'll miss you, Bucko.
-Sam
(PS: If you see this somehow, I sure hope you're watching over us.)
You know... I really do wish I had the chance to get to know him better and chat more, but oh well. That time is past, time to look to the future, lol. Who's gonna help keep the forums funnier now? My sense of humor is a little bit "out there" and I'm getting busy with my life now... hmm...
I dint know you very well. But I hope you have a good after life.
Thank you for showing us some art work with your mods.

though ive never even seen his face or heard his voice, Bucko was always there when a noob like me needed help or tips for a project, i always kinda looked up to him and admired his zeal for the craft, as well as his work
thanks bucko
Wow guys, it's amazing how much lives he touched. I've gone through and read every page. I'm chocked up...thank you for your kind and wonderful comments, it certainly helps everyone deal with the pain.
I just found out about such this and was absolutely shocked. He was a great modder and will surely be missed, condolences to his friends and family
I didnt know him but did see him around, it sucks he had to go, everyone will miss him.....R.I.P man
Ah Lee...
I think and think about what to say, but it still sounds inadequate.
We knew each other well.. yet not enough. Never enough, and I'm sorry.
I miss you.
My condolences to family and friends. I know it's hard and we'll all miss him dearly.

Rest in peace are thoughts are with your family and friends.
I just starting coming to these forums not long ago so i didnt know Bucko very well but what i did see from him was he was a really nice helpful guy and he was always Bucko true to hisself and who he was and that getting hader and harder to find .
rest in peace
my Condolences to his friends and family
Man, what terrible news.
My sincerest condolences. Bucko was really cool dude. We all logged in just to hear his accent on Teamspeak.
My thoughts are with his family.
The good ones die young, or so they say.
I never saw a reason it should be this way.
Bloody obstinate - at times he could be.
And that was, in part, how he came to touch me.
This man - who I never met - I respected, as a friend.
May all those who remember him never forget.
Peace to you brother Bucko,
Matthew
You will be greatly missed Bucko...the world was a better place with you in it. To his family, you all are in our prayers...Bucko was a great man.
Sincerely,
Vincent F. Olshove "Dfigravity"
Indeed..sorry for your loss- Bucko had great character and creativity...will be missed!
This is a joke right? There's no way this is true...no...I barely knew the guy but I loved him like a friend. One more dent in my day.. ='[
I didn`t know Bucko much but it is a great lost for our modders community he will be in our hearts..... R.I.P Bucko
My condolences to family and friends

Almost ten years since my friend passed.
Think about him still, remember all the mornings I would be at work while he was winding down for the night and the hilarious / insightful conversations we would have.
I didn't have a good departure from this site, as I was a bit jaded at the time. But Lee was always my friend regardless.
Still very sad that I never got to meet him in person and give him a hug.
Not being able to see him is still one of the top reasons why I will most likely never visit Australia (no offense, just would be so bittersweet for me).
Miss you still Lee.

Hey Jeremy!
Nice the hear from you, despite the circumstances. Jeez. 10 years...
Wow. Blast from the past. Hey Jeremy.
