    Well I got a text message this morning.
    For those of you who know and have had the pleasureof riding with Kobe Diesel, he is in a hospital in NY.
    He had heart surgery for a bad valve and staph infection.

    I am working on getting an address to send him a care package and some racing mags to help with the recovery.

    I will also print out all get well wishes and members would like to post here and forward to him as well.

    So far the word is good and it seems he is recovering.

    I hope and pray for him to have a speedy recovery.

    PS To Kobe you will do anything to get out of paying on the moto gp bet, you still owe me lunch even if I have to got to the hospital and eat the crud they serve there.

    I was sorry to hear this, and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Kobe's a great guy and a hell of a good guy to ride with. Gotta get better - Kobe, I know you can hear Rt 116 calling!!

    i like the hot nurse sponge bath idea. Maybe I should swing by and have them take my temp or something to get in on that!

    Best wishes to you Kobe!

    This is the perfect time to have a valve job done to get back to VFR.. errr.. uhmmm... HUMAN spec :)

    Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping that on that first 70 degree New York day you will be hopping on the bike for some much needed revitalization!

    Well they also say that home is where the heart is too, sooooo..... I hope that The Kobe does get better and I also hope that this was a planned surgery other than a surgery that had to be done right away...but in either case I hope the Diesel runs again. Get better!!!

    Kobe, dont listen to Maggot! Sip down some Slick 50 and if you can swing it 50cc per liter IV drip will get those valves unstuck for you! Recover quick and hope to hear from you soon!.

    Good news
    Kobe Diesel is on his way home today.
    If he got the V-Tec upgrade on that valve we can tweek him w/ a PC 3

    Thanks for all the replies, i will make sure he gets them all.
