Candida Villar said that “When God squeezes, drowns but well”. And not to bring the opposite to the words of the jienense, that is just what seems to be happening to Les Whiston. At 74 he faces one of the most complicated moments of his life after his workshop, Trident Mcs burned fiercely, destroying absolutely everything inside.
If that were not enough drama, the situation is even more complex. Not only for losing memories of a lifetime and motorcycles of its customers valued in more than 200,000 pounds (almost 240,000 euros to the current change), in addition to absolutely all the machinery and the establishment itself, but because Whiston had not renewed the insurance policy that covered Trident Mcs.
Maybe knowing that I had no insurance, someone might think that Whiston had risk and lost, but the situation goes further. And the policy had not been renewed because, last August, the British suffered a motorcycle accident while in circuit with his classic that was about to cost his life.
TRIDS MCS start back is the goal of Whiston and Denise
In fact, when medical services came to him had stopped breathing, then he spent half a month in intensive care. From there he began to recover little by little and even in recent weeks he had returned with his wife to the workshop to finish the works, although he does not see correctly, he cannot walk with ease and has no strength in his hands after the accident.
That is why perhaps everyone who can, is helping Trident Mcs get ahead. In addition to the fact that different locals have contacted him to help him, and even customers are supporting him, a Mallory Park dealership, Huggys Speed Shop, has launched an aid campaign through Gofundme called “Trident Mcs Fire Recovery Fund” and that has already raised more than 2,555 pounds. A small help for Whiston and Denise, his wife, can live.
