Farewell - Chad Peters

Rkill77 · 23-03-2006, 10:51 AM

Many of you may have of heard of Chad Peters, he was larger than life and touched the lives of many. He was passionate about all forms of motorcycling and many a rising star has had his support behind them getting there. Sadly, Chad lost his long fight with cancer yesterday and will be sorely missed.

There is a registry book here at work for those who wish to sign it and there will be a ride from the store next week to the funeral.

I had the pleasure of metting Chad many times in the shop. I am so sorry to hear he has left us. His fight against this disease was truley heroic. Rest in peace Chad, you will be missed.

Dam - RIP Chad
It was always fun racing him down to the local fast food place years ago - on Fireblades when they first came out - he would always beat me there but i would beat him to place an order cause of his crippled leg

Many fines later and loss of license, we stopped riding together.
He was a bloody good salesperson and mate that will be sorely missed
Rest in peace Bro

Sorry to here, RIP...

I only met Chad once- My mate that worked at a car yard used to be sponsored by Honda shop a while ago and he wanted to by a road bike. Chad came round to the car yard on a VTR 1000 let my mate ride it, when Chad left he did a wheel stand as he left the shop down Albany Hwy, put a smile on all our faces...
Sorry to hear....

Codolences to the family
Was there when he grew up, (raced with his father in Histirics),did watch him race, did see him enjoy life.
I am shocked and saddened to the core.

RIP Chad

Loved watching Chad race when the fast food had made him a man mountain. The fact that he could hustle a bike around Barbagello that fast in those huge leathers spoke heaps of his ability.

Following him on the road - or being left behind in the distance - was an experience.

Hope you find peace Chad.

I have known Chad since highschool.

Big Bloke, Big Smile and an even Bigger Heart!

From Road, MX, Quads and R/C Cars he loved all things motorized.
But most of all, he loved a good Wheelie!

Seen him pull a few killer minga's down the main straight at Waneroo. (During the races!)

I had the pleasure of celebrating his Buck's nights with him as well as attending his wedding a few weeks back, and even though he was in pain, he put on an amazing display of strength and character and kept on being his usual self. All smiles and laughs.

He was a 'Honda Head' and we used to have some collosal Shit Slingin matches about Suzi vs Honda! LOL!
I will miss that alot! About 2 x weeks ago he came over with his wife to have a few beers with the boys in the shed, out came the paintball gun, and sitting in his wheel chair he proceeded to shoot every single GSXR Poster in the shed! (He is a Classic!) The posters will remain as is.

GodSpeed Chad.

I never had the opportunity to meet Chad, and it looks like it was a life experience I may regret. Chad, you have made and left a permanent mark on many people's lives. Sounds like you gave it your all to the very end.

I admire a fighter. Godspeed, condolences to family and friends.
