Max and Rastus Tribute Site
About Max and Rastus
 

Max Corkill and his beloved black cat, Rastus in full flight, from cover photo of Ride Rastus Ride, click for details.
Rastus were well known to New Zealanders and people all around the world. For years they rode as a team with Rastus firmly ensconced on the front of Max's motorbike wearing his trademark helmet and red spotted scarf. At Christmas this was replaced with antlers endearing Rastus to the hearts of many.

Rastus, adopted by Max as a kitten at a swap meet, loyally followed him every day of his life - even onto his motorbike... 

Six months prior to their deaths, Max found a new love to share his life, Gaynor Martin. They happily travelled New Zealand's roads together with Rastus until the sudden

accident that took them all...

On 20th January 1998, Max, Rastus and Gaynor were tragically killed in a road accident doing what they loved - riding their motorbikes together. 

Five years later and quietly behind the scenes friends and family have been working to keep their memories alive, selling memorabilia to support Max's favourite charity, the SPCA. This site marks the five year anniversary of their deaths. We welcome your comments, stories, memories and tributes for Max, Gaynor and Rastus. Contact maxandrastus@petsonthenet.co.nz
