It's no doubt that the loss of Bucko saddens us all. Personally, I'm still in shock over the news. Here is your chance to send your condolences straight to Austrailia. Jon volunteered to compile the list and will make a post in the Bikes On Show forum where many of his friends and family will see them.
i didn't really know him that much but from what i saw he was a really cool dude. it's complete **** that you had to go but at least it was doing what you loved. i was hoping to see your last pc mod to get finish but i guess you will get it done up above.
my sincere condolences,
Rob.W - Spawn-Inc.
i really thought it was some sort of forum prank at first than i saw that it was a person that posted it wasnt really a normal user who would pull a joke i was kinda like "what?"
then i saw the post from the other forum and im in shock and feel miserable:(
To Bucko: Hey mate. If you can read this, I got the news. Really sucks. I hope that if there's an afterlife, you're livin' it up. May the roads rise to meet you, and the wind always to be to your back.
To Bucko's Family: I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I never knew Lee personally, just on our forums. He was a great staff member and an even better friend. He was constantly polite and patient, and quite the character. I hope that you all can find consolation for this tragedy in all of our lives.
Sincerely,
Michael "Omega" B.
i have to give credit to the other forum though i mean they really came togother and supported him just as much as us i wish i could do more but i realized that (after reading 8 out of the 11 pages of the thread on the other site i really see how strong they are as a forum just like us and i think thats really cool
i guess what im trying to say is that theres alot of respect for him at both the forums
we all miss you dude alot of people looked up to you

Bucko, this whole deal still seems a bit on the unreal side. I'm very glad to say that I was allowed the opportunity to see your mods; your desk; and your half shaved face. You seemed to be someone who lived life to the fullest and were bigger than life itself.
You will be sorely missed my friend.
Joe 'DrumThumper' O'Meara
Thank you everyone for speaking your mind about Bucko. We all loved him and will miss him greatly. Please use this thread only to speak directly to his friends and family over on the biking forum. We feel that a compiled string of condolences might say more than numerous random posts in the biking thread from people they don't know. When this get's most of your words placed here, I am going to compile a full document signed by us all and post it there for them to see that he not only touched the lives in Australia, but had friends on other forums and aqll over the world. I will also take comments that were written in the other thread as they were just as touching and I beleive belong in this note. Someone mentioned building a video or slideshow of his mods and some random pictures he posted here, I think that is a wonderful idea and if someone volunteers for it please help them out by finding some of his more charctered posts to include. Thanks guys and gals,
Jon
P.S.- Don't forget to sign your message so they can see who you are.
Bucko, you will be missed. Amazing how on this little internet forum you got so much respect and people who will miss you. I mean hell I don't even really know you and I'm getting tears thinking about this.
My condolences to your family and friends.
May you continue to ride on down the highway in the sky.

This is absolutely saddening news to find out. Thank you 1uz-hz for taking the time to tell us, I'm sure everyone here, including myself, greatly appreciates it. Thank you.
Rest in peace Sir Bucko, you will be greatly missed by many people. I'm glad you got to leave this earth doing that which you love, goodbye my friend, we'll all miss you terribly.
Enjoy the miles and miles of endless beauty while riding your motorcycle up there in heaven man, just try not to cause too much trouble okay? I'm sure even the angels need to sleep every now and then.
Goodbye our motorcycle lovin', computer moddin', half shaved face friend. Enjoy the afterlife and rest in peace.
Rest in peace my friend,

I don't know what to say. ****.. Life is such a fragile thing, you know?
God damn. Bucko was such an awesome guy. I still have the keyboard he sent me for CS:Server. Screw CS:Server now, I'm airbrushing a tribute to Bucko on it.
RIP Bucko. May you tear up the gates of Heaven in your Rat-bikes.
-.maleficus.
Rest in peace Bucko. You were a great person to have around the forums. You will be missed.
Damn I don't know how to take this, I didn't know him personally but still...
Bucko, if somehow you can read or know this: If I had a bike I'd be taking a long ride right now in your honor.
Damn... I might need a drink.

Bucko, may you rest in piece. All of us at The Best Case Scenario owe you a great debt. You were a great help in the expansion and moderation of our website. Thank you for your contributions. You will not be forgotten.
-Curtis "Aero" Szajkovics
We will miss you Bucko you where a good friend. Your moderation of the forums really turned this place around.
I am in shock slighty at the moment. Oh my god...
-Simon Pearce
Rest in peace. I couldn't have asked for a better moderator. I only wish I could've gotten to know you better... Oh well. There is always the afterlife (right, my friend?). Until then, you will be missed.
-Paul 'Quakken' Quakenbush
Bucko made this forum a pretty fun place to be, and the thought of anyone losing a life is unfortunate. And it was also unfortunate that he is now part of the statistic.
Bucko, rock on man. Say hello to Darrell Abbott, Dave Williams and Cliff Burton for me.
Chris "Mitternacht" Walrath
Sorry you're gone dude, but I'm glad I knew you, even though it wasn't very well. Thanks for the few good conversations we had. Take it easy.
-xRyokenx
Bucko, because of the internet, you had friends all over the world. You will be missed by many people that never met you in person. We'll truly miss you and your half shaved face.
Rest in peace my friend.
WHAT HAPPENED???
He's the guy who won my Matrix Case!!
We will never forget your epic leets paint skillz mate.
You will NOT be forgotten....
Bucko was a great guy, i never really talked to him much, just a little conversation here and there on the forums but that was enough for me, ride hard up there buddy.
Bucko,
I can't believe this news, it's too awful to be true. I was only talking to you last week about how great your new life was. I only met you briefly once, and I've only known you for a year, but I (or anyone else for that matter) will never forget your great personality and the friendships that you had with all of us. You will be sorely missed, and you will always be loved.
RIP Bucko
My sincerest condolences to your family and friends.
- Rosemarie "Elenril" S.
I am numb. I know he hasn't been around here for a while, but I did see him drop in from time to time. I feel a great loss that I won't get the opportunity to experience his witty humor. I take comfort that he went doing what he loved, and believe he is still riding in a better place. I take comfort in the fact he was a positive impact in the lives of many. The Aussie roads will not be the same without him.
Rest in Peace my friend, you will be missed by many.
My condolences go out to the Beckett family, I know nothing can be said to ease your pain. My heart and prayers go out you.
-Curtis "OvRiDe" G.-
I hope to attend the Funeral when ever that may be.
If anybody wants to have a chat add me on msn simon275(at)hotmail.com
or pm for my phone number if you wanna talk about it.
This is sad news. I never really got to know bucko all that well, but from what I read from him and what mods he posted he seemed like a talented person who was intelligent and very nice to everyone. I always enjoyed reading what he had to say, and his advice was always spot on. You will be missed!
William "billygoat333" S.
Bucko,
I thank you for the things you have done and for being such a great person. I can not explain how much you will be missed. Where ever you are my friend, I hope you are at peace and left without pain.
-dan
Oh my god, this sucks.
I did'nt know him at all, havent been on the forum that long.
But still i feel bad whenever i read something like this, Rest in Peace.
My deepest Condolences to his family and friends.
I don't know what to say, Bucko was a great guy. Always tried to help a fellow modder in need and always produced fantastic works of art. I just cried, haven't done that since my Grandpa died last year.
On behalf of all us Australians...R.I.P and my deepest condolences.:no:
Jason "The boy 4rm oz" Bottin
Rest In Peace Bucko, you will be truly missed, not only by your family, but also you will be missed by your friends who come from around the whole world.
I really don't know anything else to say. My thoughts go out to the family of Bucko and to all of his friends everywhere.
R.I.P.
Randy "silverdemon" S. (NL)
I've been delaying posting anything, searching for the right words. I had a horrible night of sleep. Couldn't get Bucko and his family out of my mind. Isn't it strange how someone you've never met face to face can have such a positive and emotional impact on your life? I can only hope that he's riding wide open in a better place with the sun on his face, and the wind at his back.

I couldn't belive this when I saw it at first...
You will be sorely missed, Bucko. I never really got to know you, but it saddens me that you are no longer with us.
My condolences to your friends and family.
*bows his head in silent prayer*
James "Helix" Penketh
I too had to think quite a bit about what to post here. Bucko was a tremendous force here on our forum, and will be sorely missed by all. Though many of us never met him face to face, our time spent chatting about our shared hobby made him our friend.
He was always there with a helpful suggestion, a kind word, or just a story from the road. We all miss you Bucko.
Luke (122) Evanochko
Just remembered some of the stuff he would do to get laughs, lol... kick himself off of the TeamSpeak server saying "I'll kick me own arse." Ahh, good times.
Man. I didnt see this until just now. And I just couldnt stop reading it. Seeing all of the responses by all of you for someone you have never met makes me feel really good about being a part of this community.
As for you Bucko, we'll all miss you. You were incredibly talented and extremely friendly. My condolences to Bucko's family. Its tough surviving someone you love. Ride on good friend.
~Adam 'Big' Johnson
The words do not come.
Sadness covers our hearts.
Our friend and ally is gone.
The world will suffer his absence.
... Keeping 2 down in your thoughts fellow rider and modder...
Terry "Airbozo" Tracy
Lettting go of you, was not easy.
Letting go of the, memories.
Letting go of the, good times we shared.
Letting go of someone like you was not easy.
I know nothing i say will make bucko come back, but he will be missed, you helped make this place what it is, you gave us laughes when we were down, you kicked us when we got out of line.
Where ever you are im sure you will enjoy riding your rat bikes with a half shaved face.
My condolences go out to the family and friends and i pray for rest.
Francis Sutherland - XcOM
its almost 12 hours since i got this terrible news....
even now i cant find any words that can describe the deep sadness that has fallen on me...
bloody ****
when team.speak was alive we used to chat about bikes and cars and road trips and.....
I'll miss you, you mad bastard !!!
I just saw all of this and read through most of the other forum. Never really got to talk to him but I read a lot of his stuff here and was inspired more then once.
Here's to you Bucko, may the roads never end where you are.
Joseph "Bopher" O'Donnell
this thread really struck me speechless yesterday
bucko- we will miss ya man
