Firko not well.
« on: June 27, 2021, 08:29:02 am »
Hi All

I saw on FB that Firko (Mark Firkin) is not well. He suffered a stroke some weeks ago and has been in ICU but he's recovering slowly.

Keep him in you thoughts and prayers and if you know him I'm sure he'd appreciate get well wishes on a mail or text or a post on FB

Thanks
David

Sorry to hear that . Firko used to be a good contributor on this forum . His knowledge on Yamaha DT  and Mx  was unbelievable . We wish him a speedy recovery .

RIP Firko and thank you for support and elevation of the Sprite/ American Eagle and Alron thread.
