I have had an e-mail from June yesterday to say the next two days are crucial for Dave. He has a chest infection and they fear it could turn to pneumonia. The family have been asked to come in to see him. I only hope he can find the strength to over come this setback.

He has had a very bad time of it lately and is mentally and physically exhausted . Dave has fought everything that has been thrown at him with out complaint he has never lost his love for bikes, he is always the first to set congratulations to winners espicially for sidecars. I often feel he is a very unsung hero.

My thoughts are with him and his family.
