Terrible news........but at least the dude was living the dream.
It's always the loved ones who suffer.

..heartfelt sympathy.
 

This is terrible news.
We never met Adrian, but we have met many like him whilst traveling over the last 7 years. Young, vibrant, full of enthusiasim and so excited to be on the road. Yes, he was surely doing what he loved and I hope that this thought eases his families and friends sorrow.
Desite being only 30 - he had learned what it takes some many more years to learn - live your life to the full - you only have one.

Living the dream
 

I agree with Lisa.

We've all had close calls on the road but that shouldn't stop people living their dream. Adrain was no doubt doing what he'd always wanted to do, the tragedy is that his life has been cut so terribly short.

I'm sure all our thoughts are with his family and friends who have to live with the news of this tragic accident.

RIP Adrian

*UPDATE*

I've just had a Tweet from a Brasilian biker living in the US to tell me that he's in contact with a bikers group in Brasil who are assisting the Australian Embassy with Adrian's motorcycle and belongings. It's no surprise to me to see the Brasilians extending their friendship to a fellow biker.

Thanks you to everyone who has posted regarding Adrian. I am the Minister at the church in Sydney where Adrian grew up and where his family lives, in Turramurra Sydney. We'd love some to be able to be at his funeral in Brazil to represent the family and bikers. If you'd like to know details so you can attend, then please email me directly on tomphb@gmail.com and I'll pass on the information as it becomes available. His family are grateful to those expressing their sympathy, support and prayers. I'll also put details on our church website St Philips Anglican Church - South Turramurra

Thanks and God bless

Rev Tom Henderson-Brooks

Though I didn't know Adrian, I was saddened to read of his accident. Each rider's passing diminishes all of us. I am sure I can convey the condolences of every rider and HU member to Adrian's family and friends.

Clearly he loved life and was fully living it as he wished.

Just read through Adrian's blog .. and I can't find the right words; this is just too awful .. and so sad.

I'm sure that all our thoughts are now with his family and close friends.

RIP young Adrian.

On his blog, he said he had planned to travel through South America before visiting the United States, London and Bangkok.
Mr Kemmis celebrated his 30th birthday in Sydney before he left Australia in August.

That's such sad news. Sincerest condolences to Adrian's friends and family.

RIP Adrian

Ola,
ROHDEN.
Estou em São Paulo.
Acompanho tuas mensagens.
Aparentemente, talvez ele seja enterrado no Brasil, em Curitiba. Não deu para entender exatamente.
Parece que o pastor da comunidade dele pediu que, nesse caso, alguém estivesse presente, representando a fam�*lia.
Eu não estarei.
Freqüento também o forum "clube xt600 - brazil". Creio haver membros dessa comunidade os quais vivam em Curitiba e possam estar presentes aos serviços fúnebres. Assim, colocarei uma msg naquele forum.

Yeah, that is so very sad. :(
