Hopefully we are all familiar with this thread http://ducatiforum.co.uk/f16/gizmo-michael-bonney-ducati-up-north-8914/ and the facebook update here https://www.facebook.com/mrbonney?hc_location=stream What do you say we start a Ducati forum collection to assist in any way it can for GIZMO? If someone cleverer than me can find where and how to send money ill give the first tenner!
I shall try and visit him sometime soon. He will see this anyway with a bit of luck but I'll inform of your kind thoughts. He wants everyone to keep riding, he knows he's just been unlucky and as he acknowledges "shit happens".
Come on you Gits.......this is one of our own!!! All i am asking is you paypal a pound or anything over to the dedicated site...........
Andy is right, please support Mike and Linzi. Ongoing yearly support, care and equipment is expected to be in the region of six figures....................at least read the link - it's humbling and frightening.
Having read that I am not quite sure I can find the correct words, and please do not misinterpret me ,but compelling and amazing come to mind among many others. I take my hat off to him , and all those who cared for him, and wish him all the best on the other side.
Jesus lads that's has the tears flowing , that's one strong man !!! sorry for anyone here who is losing a mate !!
I'm going to miss him, I had the pleasure of riding bikes with him and Linzi around Scotland for a week years ago, generally riding bikes and being part of his legacy that is Ducati Up North. And getting back into mountain bikes directly because of him. I've visited him a few times since his accident in hospital and at home and although I was always happy to see him, it was always difficult to comprehend the life he was now living. I'll always have the memories I guess, take care Gizmo.
