stef's wife has just put this on his face book page. Hi All, this is Claire, Stef's wife. I'm sorry to let you know that he had a stroke on Sunday afternoon. He received treatment fast and 48 hours on he is showing a huge improvement. He has a long way to go but we are all hopeful for a full recovery in time. I'm afraid I'm going to have to run the business as mail order only for the next couple of weeks at least, please help me out with this and still use us for your tyres. If you can email all enquiries it'll be easier for me to deal with around hospital visits as he's in a specialist stroke unit over 2 hours from me. Email address is tyres4bikes@gmail.com Thank you. am sure we all wish him a speedy recovery. gws If you have a pound spare or wish to make any donation you can send it to tdriders@gmail.com through PayPal. Many thanks for all the support

anybody got a pound rubbing a hole in their pocket ? going to do a little collection and get him something to cheer the f**ker up in hospital. he will be in there for a while. His speech is ok, but he has some recovery to do - means the haggling can continue. if you want to chuck a pound into paypal please feel free but mark it Stef: tdriders@gmail.com Cheers Dozi ------------- My mind not only wanders .......... sometimes it leaves completely |

Sorry to here this, good bloke (even if he does think "I ride like me arse is on fire") Steff was doing suspension settings on 2 of my mates bikes and was in and out the garage all day tweaking for them. The stroke care is 100 times better these days so lets hope for a full recovery.

My Dad went through a large stroke end of last year aged 57 and has only recently gotten home, but has been affected alot by the stroke, if there`s any advice you need on anything regarding rehab just shout, if i dont know i can def find out.

Noted that Claire says about fuel and Parking costs. Please pass on the pressing the top right button or seeing the guys in who do Security who are located in A&E are able to do a day ticket for £4.50 With this ticket you can come and go as you please. Patient line Tv, get ur cards and play with the menu settings and there are some deals that provide more for less. Keep the donations coming lads, know how hard it is to be coming and going to Hospital - mines winging it way over. Jay |
