dear all not sure if you have seen this story. but please read and sign petition BBC News - Sean Emmett: Ex-superbike racer stranded in Dubai https://submissions.epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/55031
done. but what a bizarre chain of events. marriage and then a death soon after. I just hope she was covered by a huge life insurance policy to support her husband. sorry just me being cynical re the events for which I appologise. he was a cool racer and ill never forget the time he nearly lobbed a 998 doing a celebration on the finish straight and then came second. paul birds face is class.
done too.. when i worked in UAE they tried to confiscate my passport. i refused telling them it was the property of the governement..as such, i worked there for months, never got paid, and had to rely on an ex pat to get me home. id never got back to that dump..its the proverbial turd rolled in glitter. Best of luck to Sean.
I've met him a couple of times, he lives in Addlestone just down the road. And he comes across as a decent, ordinary bloke. Some would have you believe he was a wild, alcoholic junkie with a dark past, but he certainly didn't seem that way to me. And I know plenty of wild, alcoholic junkies...
Done too. The verdict from the coroner was suicide on Sean's wife. There was an interview with him on the radio the other day, he is not facing any charge in relation to her death and as Sean himself has pointed out, countless people have stayed in the hotel room since. The reason he is still there is because apparently we was drinking alcohol without a license! But then in a country where you can get locked up for 4 years for having sex on a beach.......odd laws. Hope he makes it home soon.
Apparently (and this comes from the internets so it must be true) she was pissed up, dropped her wedding ring on the balcony and fell off the balcony trying to catch it.
