Thanks for your support BV members – the thread running in the BV forum shows the amazing journey of feeling and emotion that all his family, friends and fellow bike riders have gone through since initially hearing about Mike’s accident through on 28 June to now, as we’ve follow his critical car and ongoing recovery.
