Fred had a small heart attack this morning, at work. He had two 70% blockages. He is in the hospital and they placed two stints in him. He is doing well, in a regular room and hopefully will be released tomorrow. He asked me to post this for him. He can give us the details when he is ready. The most important thing he is going to be all right. I didn't ask which hospital he is in. Rather than sending flowers, I think he would prefer motorcycle parts. I will probably paypal him something.

This is all I know for now.

Holy shit!  Best wishes Fred!  I guess that's one way to get more time off work to wrench on the bikes!

Oh wow, looking on the bright side, it sounds like it happened at the right place and the right time.

Hopes and prayers for comfort, skillful and pleasant hospital staff/facilities and a full recovery!

Thanks for the heads up call Kurt, that was very thoughtful.  :good2:

I'm relieved that Fred was in a location where he could get immediate help, rather than out on Casper in the middle of BFE.

We lost Cash when he was out riding his FJ (solo) and he had his heart attack.

Fred knows that if there is anything we can help him with, he just needs to let us know.

Thank you for the kind words.

I have been released from the Hospital and am relaxing at home.
I am feeling well and I have already got a follow-up appointment with my doctor on Thursday..... we will then know when I can go back to work and when I can get back to riding.

Best of British Freddy. No fish and chips for you. You're on salad servings till further notice.
