Mark "Dubsey"

#1 Post by Ade SYM » Thu Dec 15, 2016 4:43 pm

I thought I would let everyone know about Dubsey as he has been a long term member to the forum and is a well known and respected chap.

I was contacted by Ronnie that he had heard that Dubsey had a serious accident last week.

I managed to get hold of him today, in his hospital bed to have a chat with him.

He has been involved in a serious motorcycle accident last week and is in hospital and is very poorly.

He was airlifted to hospital after the incident and now has a number of serious breaks to his arms, wrists and vertebrae.

He has no recollection of the incident and no other vehicle was involved and was a fairly low speed crash.

Thankfully his head is still in one piece and he was asking me about my bikes and future projects so has lost absolutely nothing when it comes to the two-stroke scene but is clearly very unwell.

I said I will give him a call next week to see how he is getting on.

Many Thanks

Ade

On the FB pics he always looked like freshly deceased....
Meanwhile it looks a bit better.

Hope your treatments and recovery go well, Dubsey! :smt006

I'm also still healing from a bad crash 6 months ago.

Most of us are living dangerously, but wouldn't have it any other way.
