Has anyone else heard anything about the serious ill health of Bantam John? Ron

Re: Bantam John (Sheffield Motorcycles)

I spoke with him prior to the lockdown as I wanted to collect some heavy stuff
He told me that he was seriously ill & said he didn’t think he would be about for much longer after Christmas
I was short for words & wished him best as much as you can when you are landed in that situation
Other than that - I know no more

Re: Bantam John (Sheffield Motorcycles)

A friend spoke to John on the phone this afternoon - they have been friends since he was a student of John’s when he was a teacher decades ago. John is hanging on but the doctors have been unable to diagnose or find a cause for his ailments. He is direly ill.

Re: Bantam John (Sheffield Motorcycles)

That's a rotten thing to have. I hope that he's getting the care that he needs in these difficult times.

It doesn't sound as if he's going to be working again. Are the staff still able to run the business ?

Re: Bantam John (Sheffield Motorcycles)

Definately not one of my favourite people to deal with, particularly by mail
But I would not wish PSP on my worst enemy.
The only good thing sbout it is thst when terminal it is mercifully fast.
Had a family member die from it , took just over 5 months where as it took my mother 12 years to die inch by inch from the toes up .

Re: Bantam John (Sheffield Motorcycles)

I passed the shop a week or so ago and it was open. Friend of mine also bought some bits from there recently. It’s about 10 minutes from where I live.

Re: Bantam John (Sheffield Motorcycles)

I understand the business has changed hands so it's probably open with the new owner..Ian
