A shout out for one of our own
« on: August 01, 2016, 09:54:27 PM »
I'm not too sure if Rob will approve but, Rob Bosschieter {Voxonda} has been really sick, I don't know al the gritty details but he has had heart trouble and has been in Hospital for a while, he's home now recovering. I really hope he doesn't mind but I just thought it might help having some well wishes from fellow members than know and have done business with Rob. He is a really nice guy and has gone out of his way to help some of us here and wow us with his well made products, including his dry clutch CB750 conversion. I hate seeing a good man down so here's to a speedy recovery mate, we are thinking of you in your time of need.....Get well soon big guy.... ;)

Ditto that. Rob, that's a hell of a weight loss program you've been on! Glad to see you are out of the hospital and on the mend!  G'luck,  Bill

Never met Rob but I can say that all the guys on this forum are top notch, so if they speak highly of you that is a good indicator of your character. I'm glad to hear that you are feeling/doing better and hope that everything is alright. I've been welcomed and helped immensely by the members of this forum and would like the chance to do the same. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Glad to be part of the best forum on the net....Hope for a speedy recovery so you can join us on the asphalt with your SOHC...Best of luck Rob.

Having ha a heart attack it is a pain in the ass, yes things change but it reminds you that you've got to make it count because you are not immortal so stop and think what's really important. Any how HEAL.

I've met Rob two weeks ago, because he was willing to help me out by supplying an F2 cylinderhead for my turbo bike.
He told me he just got out of the hospital!!!, and was very lucky to still be around. Judging from his story he was really lucky indeed! 

It will take quite a while to recover but I can see he's already getting back into the Honda hobby by the pictures he shares online. :)

Thanks again Rob, take it slow and all the best!
