laird387 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Peter Gaunt is the inveterate independent engineer, rarely throughout his life, have his motorcycles conformed to the as-manufactured norm, but those of us who have been friends of his for decades know full well that he could transform a motorcycle and make it handle. So it came as no surprise to know that when most people would be enjoying a celebration on their eightieth birthday, Peter spent his day differently, sadly rushed to hospital with a thrombosis. Happily the attack was not fatal - but has given Peter a salutory reminder that life is precious and he needs to scale back his independance. He has lost full control of his left side, but can still move his fingers, so has hopes of regaining control in time. Similarly he can still walk, but not necessarily with the precise control that he is used to. We wish him well, please take care of yourself Geeky. I am attaching a typical photograph of him taken almost fifty years ago, when his works ride with AMC was fast 'disappearing down the plug hole' as the company went bust and in desperation they loaned him to Suzuki to develop a model for the UK market, based in the old James factory at Greet.
