Mate of mine crashed very badly couple of weeks ago on track and was in a critical state in hospital with internal head injuries and having suffered a stroke afterwards. He cant really talk and Im not sure he can read. I dont know what to get him other than a toy bike.

Any ideas? He is early 20s and his girlfriend will need to appreciate it too…

Thanks guys - went to MZ in the end and got him a Rossi M1 rep from 05 season - wanted the biggest GO!!! on the side as prominent as possible - cause we need him to get better! :smiley:

Ill ask his dad when I go if we can incorporate a rideout to go and see him at some point. I know most of you wont know him (Seb, B and Sammo might) but he is on a long road to recovery so will need lots of motivation and drive to get well. He is a talented rider and Im certain he will ride again.

Thanks for all your messages :slight_smile:
