Hi Dave, I build a Y62 with your gear, which is awesome! I specialise in spinal rehab and have worked with one of the top neurosurgeons in NSW for the last 7years. I’ve been in lots of those operations and did the rehab on them! If you have any questions about the op and recovery please feel free to contact me if you like! All the best, you will be fine!! Stay positive mate! Jo V

[@DASHOffRoad]

Thank you so much for the comment, it gives me confidence. It’s too late for questions so I’m just going in and hoping it sorts me out. See you on the other side

[@TheLandCriuserz]

Shout if you need help or have any questions post surgery! I’m in Perth, so I can leave my number for you at the Perth shop! Good luck, you will be fine!

[@johnpeacock7985]

Mate I had the same operation done back in 1991 when I was an apprentice I am 53 now and still enjoying my mountain bike, 4x4 ing camping ect. You will be right, keep your chin up pal don’t let it get you down medicine has come on a long way.

[@AaronCrook-oy6fw]

Thanks for sharing Dave. Wishing you all the best and a fast recovery. Look forward to seeing you when your back online

[@peterruggiero4580]

Goodluck m8. Wishing you a very speedy recovery, and an even more speedy return to what you love doing.

[@bentodasilva5326]

Sending you and the team all the love and strength, brother. You have definitely been a massive inspiration to us all, and if I'm honest, you are about 80% of the reason why the Y62 platform has taken off in sales over the years. You and your wife have bloody well deserved it. Stay safe, and never feel bad or sorry for being selfish every now and then.

[@DASHOffRoad]

Thanks Ben, yours and everyone else’s support has been overwhelming 🥰

[@MattPeel-mt3rm]

All the best Dave. Try not to rush the recovery & rehab well!

[@djnmv]

Wow Dave, that injury sounds like it's been a pretty full-on experience for you amongst everything else in your life. Wishing you the best of luck with your operation, and rest up! You had me in suspense as I thought you might be saying you were no longer going to make videos at all as you were too busy, so I was glad to hear you intend to pickup the camera again afterwards, as for some reason I always enjoy your videos talking about what's going on with the business 🙂 I think it also makes sense for you to downsize your workshop in Adelaide considering you've opened two others interstate now which would be taking a load off work coming to Adelaide from there.

[@DASHOffRoad]

Thanks, I like YT too much to give it up. I’ll be back before you know it

[@bill5300]

Wishing you all the best, Dave. You'll be back on your feet before you know it.

[@MrinspectorMelb]

All the best with your recovery mate. Health is more important than work.

[@stevecalhoun6430]

All the best mate. You’re the reason I bought my Y62 back in ‘19. Health first. Come back stronger!

[@PeterSmith-fj6tb]

Kind thoughts for successful op, speedy recovery. Reckon you will buy a premises in due course too. You and immediate family should always be #1 the wider Dash family will respect that. Care, Consideration, Communication, Community you've got that covered.

[@DASHOffRoad]

Thank you, and I reckon I reckon you’re right. One day we might buy and stop playing the rent game

[@ajh1155]

Best wishes for successful fusions, no infections and a good recovery.

[@ianfrost1419]

Sending all the LOVE and PRAYERS your way mate, rest up take care of yourself Bless your family ...

[@i.m.peterrific]

Aren't those injections in your spine super fun???? I went through a series of those prior to going for a C5/6/7 fusion about 12 years ago (effects of playing rugby in my earlier life). I've lost a lot of movement, but that was in the old days of solid blocks being inserted and screwed in place. I have heard that a couple of years after my operation they started using blocks that are articulated and give you more movement back. Good luck with everything, and don't be surprised if you are up and about way quicker than what they tell you. I was back to an office job in just over 2 weeks, I just had to take it easy as you would expect for a few months. The recovery will be nothing like having a fractured vertebra, you will probably have a much shorter time in any form of brace than you did previously. In the end it was definitely worth it, my quality of life vastly improved.

[@DASHOffRoad]

I really appreciate your comment. I am most worried about the recovery being scarred from the fracture 6 years ago. I hope I have a similar recovery to you 🙏

[@onix5060]

Much love mate! All the best… thanks for the vids and sharing!

[@PeterStankov-c5q]

Take care, your health comes first. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

[@chrisspies8123]

Best wishes mate! Hoping everything works out awesomely for you ❤

[@craigwilliams4977]

[@scottmathew3919]

All the best with the surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery. Love the sneak peek of that bar, might have to put in a pre-order!

[@paulheussner9023]

Dave sorry to hear of your injury to your neck, I feel your pain . I fractured my c4/ 5 surfing in 1985 In Bali, and spent 2yrs in a neck brace. The nerve pain was next level. As a teenager your bullet proof and as a male we put important medical stuff off. I strengthened my body to protect the injury which is a band aid solution I think you made the best decision to take action to fix the problem. This medical procedure has come along way and less intrusive with a quick and full recovery. Thank you for sharing your injury, personal experience with it and pre op business preparations. I wish you a speedy and full recovery. Good luck 🤙

[@DASHOffRoad]

Thanks Paul, I’ve tried for the last 6 years to strengthen my body but just couldn’t as it caused too much pain to exercise. Before the injury I used to run x3 times a week and was always quite lean, I miss those days. Hopefully I can go back to exercise after

[@ODIN62Y62]

Good luck mate with op, just take it easy for a little and it will be way better soon.

[@neillucas4342]

All the best Dave, look forward to your return and more content when you are well. Rear bar with lights looks awesome, so does the Samurai.

[@AUSklaatu59]

Hi Dave first up you are number one and more important to yourself and the family, get well mate we will all be behind you and waiting for your next drunk do it yourself video. Best wishes mate be seeing you when my 2024 y62 is here in a few months.

[@benjaminvalderrama3907]

Wishing you a good recovery. I bought a Tank 300 and been waiting for your products to come available so happy to keep wait while you and your family take the time you need.

[@glynnmoolenaar763]

All the best with you next journey. You will kick ass and be back in no time ..

[@wendjust1]

Wishing you a successful operation, David, and full recovery so you can get back doing what you love . Much love Wendy and Justin xx

[@DASHOffRoad]

Thank you, I’ll be back doing what I love in no time 🥰

[@Col.B1]

All the best Dave with the op, chronic pain is no fun. I had nerves burnt for lower back pain a week ago, 6 years of pain medication and cortisone treatments just a band aid. Feels great after only a week, hope yours works. Take care

[@DASHOffRoad]

That’s what I need to hear, thank you 🙏

[@davidscott8926]

Thanks for sharing your story Dave. Rest up well and focus on the recovery mate 🙂

[@JohnDorward-os4jk]

Hi Dave…keep well mate. You are the “non click bait “ champ. Everything is real and always worth watching. Mate your body comes first and it’s telling you…fix me up! Wishing you the best and a quick and full recovery.

[@DASHOffRoad]

Thank you. The thumbnail was a little bit click baity but it seems to have worked.

[@JohnDorward-os4jk]

@@DASHOffRoad classy click bait 😁

[@jamieclarey1542]

Hope all goes well Dave

[@GregStevens-vy6jn]

Is that the GSR Cordia turbo? I`m interested. The widow maker. You know me. Ken from travelling around Aus with 2 border collies. I meet you in Perth...

Yes I remember you. And yes, it’s a Cordia Turbo

Good luck mate 👍

[@tanyanyiwaq]

All the best mate

[@DieselAddiction]

It’s not selfish to take some personal time and look after your body! I am permantly impaired now because I didn’t listen to my body. You need to get off Lyrica after operation, it’s nasty shit. Make sure you do your rehab properly. Keep a positive attitude 👍

[@DASHOffRoad]

Thanks, yeah, I’ve been on Lyrica for a year now. It’s killed my ability to multitask, which was something I was pretty good at before. Sooner I get off it the better

[@hyster16t]

💪

[@Mr_RPE]

Stem cells brother worth a trip overseas

[@DASHOffRoad]

I am very much intrigued

[@peterbougoure5356]

Stay carnivore as it will aid in your recovery over anything else.

[@DASHOffRoad]

Will do, about 10 months in now

[@gkky997]

Do surgery when absolutely necessary. Steroids dun work shortly after. Try diclofenac potassium, works fast and better than most as a painkiller. Needs time to heal and yr lifestyle from yr videos hinders recovery. Stretching, walking work wonders in the long run. I'm not a doctor but speaking from personal PAINFUL EXPERIENCES! Regards.

[@DASHOffRoad]

Yeah, I can’t hold off any longer. It’s time to go under the knife

[@gkky997]

U know best. 🙏
