VMX UNLIMITED
« on: September 04, 2013, 02:49:45 pm »
FYI , just called the number at VMX unlimited , as I wanted to ask about some steering head bearings and a lady answered the phone, as  I asked,  she informed me that Les ( I do not know the man ) had a heart attack last night and is having an operation today. Just thought most on here would know him and would like to know

Fluck, just when I thought things couldn't get any worse. Les is one of the sports genuine good blokes who's done more for our sport than most. I really wish him all the best.

My understanding is that Les is OK... in the sense that it was a mild attack. I spoke to his wife and I think the "operation" is an angiogram. Glenn Pickering will be manning the phones at VMX Unlimited tomorrow so if you need stuff give him a call. He will not have the same degree of product knowledge that Les has, but is a very helpful bloke who is stepping in to help. It is important that we continue to support VMX Unlimited.

Yes, this fellow is truly one of the good guys. It seems that most times I speak to him he is battling some kind of injury or ailment, why do the salt of the earth blokes seem to cop so much grief? Get well mate.
