Rich Pearson Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I've been asked by Clive Leeson to explain that all Leeson products will temporarily be unavailable; no frames or other components are being made at this time, due to an unfortunate tragedy in the Leeson family. A little less than a week ago, Clive Leesons brother was killed whilst competeing in the Isle of Man TT. Obviously this has come as much of a shock to Clive and his family as David Jones death was to many of us, and like many of DJ's friends and family, the Leesons need some time to deal with their loss. Clive has asked that anyone at all should feel free to call with regards to Leeson products and frames; I think he just needs something to take his mind of things. Neither Clive nor Kris use trials-forum (to my knowledge) but if anyone would like to leave condolences in this thread of any kind I will be happy to pass them on.

Dan Clark Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Thats a big shame, but I'm sure everyone will respect his decision to postpone Leeson. At least his brother died doing something he loved. RIP Clive's brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosts_cloak Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Awww thats sad :ermm: When I picked up my Leeson just over a week and a half ago the whole family seemed so friendly and happy. I would like to pass this to Mr Leeson please; Im very sorry to hear your sad news, I really hope that you start to feel a bit better soon. Best wishes, Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspired Dave Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Very tragic news whenever a sportsmam or woman is killed doing what they love. In a way it is thankful that the tragic incident happened while they were doing something they had such a passion for, rather than being caught up in some mindless terrorism or natural disaster. Equally though, it is sad to hear of someone paying such a price for something that in a perfect World would only bring the participant fun times and memories. My thoughts are with the Leeson family right now, very sorry to hear such news, but I hope they have the support and comfort of close friends and family. RIP.
