I too have known Robby for about 30 years, a real character. I remember when he sold Kawasaki bikes. He had a bypass but kept on smoking. He had a stroke on Monday and didnt recover.

i just spoke to Rob Vondette (who is Rob Miklejohn' s) mechanic of 29 years. They are open for business.

416 746 1563

Funeral may be next Saturday.

So sad.
Just heard last night at L&L.
He was there last week if I'm not mistaken.
Great guy.

RIP Robby.
 
really sad news... I cant believe it when my mom told me... I will continue his work by working for his company when i get older, as I am 14 at the moment... RIP Robby Rocket.
 
I've only dealt with Robby a few times, but each time he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This is a tremendous loss for the industry.
 
Robbie was an amazing guy. My sister Edith has known him for many years and he was
always there for us. When we needed a metal gate for our porch Robbie fabricated
a perfect one from iron.

Our deepest regrets to Anne and family.

Thank You Rob. I won't be able to make the funeral I'll be working, but I can make the gathering after at Ann's if that's ok. I only met Robby a few times, but I'd like to pay my condolences in person. I'm certainly not family- but certainly somewhat of a friend.

Thank you for the update Rob, I will share with as many people as I can.

Likewise. However If anyone is having difficulty finding Ann's place, note it is Morning Sideroad. Straight shot up Bathurst. North of Davis Dr.
 
Thank you, Rob.
So (just to be clear) the cemetery is not in Newmarket - but up north of Elora, north of Guelph, right?
I will be in Harriston, Saturday A.M. then.
Leaving from south Etobicoke (in six-seater Buick) so PM me if anyone needs a ride!
Regards
 
His main ride lately:




On a ride back in 2012.

Was a great day for a ride, and send off.
RIP Robbie.

Hey everyone,

I made a group for any of us who knew Robbie... so we can share memories/photos of him and maybe someone might want to organize a ride in honour of him. I know Simone wanted to have a party for him but I haven't heard from her yet. I hope we can all keep in touch.

Anyways link to the Robbie Motorcycle Memorial Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/847549662004476/

If you're not on Facebook you can still see everything posted there as it is public.
