To anyone who knows Dave, as you may know he has cancer and I thought you may like to no how he is. I went over to the IOM this weekend to see him with his two son's.
He was glad to see us all, he was in the hospice, but he should be going home on Tuesday. He was in a jolly mood and still telling all his tales (how many times now Lol).
On Sunday we took him out for the day with his wife Lynne, and he had a great time with his two son's. It saddens me to see a friend of 35 years in this condition as I am sure a lot of you
will know. I will keep you updated if I hear of any changes.
Regards
Carl.

Very sad to hear about dave and his illness, he has inspired many of us in the 80s with his technical knowledge my thoughts to him and his family and prayers for strength in the fight against this illness......

I knew Dave in the 70's and had the greatest respect for him both as a person and competitor.

so sorry to hear this ,he was to me an idol in the scootering world and always will be ..really hopes he beats this illness .
i cannot ever claim to be one of his friends but i did have many chats with him over a period of a few years ..mostly at the 3 sisters race track in the late 80,s
he is a top bloke ,always was polite/helpfull and had the time to answer all my silly questions during pit stops lol.

Awful news. Hope he's comfortable and gives it a bloody good fight.
I can't really claim to have raced him though we shared the same track in the 80s, and his book was one of many I read cover to cover many times.
It was good to see him at Donington a few years back, and he was as honest, funny and mischievous as ever.
Give him my best Carl.
