A few bodies may be aware that Peter had travelled to the UK and was to compete in a Vinduro there as part of the junket. Unfortunately he had only completed a half lap of what has been described as a tough event before he began to suffer chest pains. He was rushed to hospital and is being held there for assessment at this stage. It will probably be another 3 weeks before he will be allowed to fly back to home. At this point there seems to be little panic. As I hear any news I'll update.
You'd reckon he would have been trying to uphold Aussie honour and perservered and won the event. Now what will the Poms think of Aussies?

Compared to the damage his silly hats had already done to our international image, I don't think 'chest pains' will make any difference...
Getting yourself hospitalised is one way to extend a holiday, I guess. :-\

I think I need to find some new friends. :D
I traveled to Denman with Drakie & Dave and after Drakie crashed we had to cart him home.
Then at CD9 I find myself playing nursemaid to Dave.
Hmm, I probably just mozzed myself didn’t I!!
Get well Drakie, ya dumb bastard
Don’t stay over there too long, we won’t be able to understand you when you get back.
Oh, don’t worry, we don’t understand you now ;D
-
No good at all, hopefully everything works out for the better and our Vinduro maestro is back on home soil fit and well soon. Get well soon Drakey!! ;) :)
-
I wonder if this was part of a plot by that iron curtain enigma Mr Drakfallov to silence his free world nemesis once and for all! Seriously though, I hope everything turns out ok.

Got a message from Sara overnight.
He's being transported ro Blackpool and it will be 3 weeks before he's allowed to fly home.
-
I hope he doesn't end up mistakenly extradited to Sweden... they currently seem to have a thing for straight talking, no BS, Aussies... ;D
And watch out for Matron, Drakie. She wields a mean wooden spoon!!!
-
Get well peter and enjoy the mushy peas
-
And watch out for Matron, Drakie. She wields a mean wooden spoon!!!
I thought he'd enjoy that sort of thing.......... :P
-
Jeez Drakie I'm supposed to be the crook one,not you. I hope you can get back to health ASAP and continue the adventure 8)
-
Is he bed bound?
If he can get out and about it's Farleigh this weekend. Cant wait. It's going to be mega!!!! (Firko will be picking up the frame this weekend)
-
Sorry to hear this Peter. Hope everything goes as well as it can. I'll catch up with you when you are back home. You'll be pleased to know the Victorian winter is over, even saw a few bikinis down the Esplanade this week. ;D
Cheers, Grahame

Get well very soon Peter! I have nightmares about what Pommie hospital food must be like!!!!
-

This post is useless without pictures............. ;D

A mate of mine based in the UK spoke to Drakey today.
Doesn't sound like he's doing too badly! Get well soon.

So true ;)

It was a soft SWM, bit like a Gas Gas Pampera.
Plenty of SWM's skooting around Classic Dirt..looked good too. 8)
Get well fast, Mr Drakeford :)
cheers West Aust

This just in from Nigel Marriott, one of the organisers of the Vinduro event Peter was riding in when he was taken ill on Saturday.
Drakey is pictured here offering up pathetic excuses to Nigel as to why he didn't finish the event. Peter has now been moved to Blackpool for more tests and possibly a small operation.

The problem with Vmxer's & Vinduro er's is they are 20yo brains living in 50+ bodies
Cheers Wombat :)

Drakey does look a bit like Jethro Tull :D
-
I like the way Drakie accessorises with those red socks fitting beautifully with the orange jump suit.
Very snappy.
Get well Mr Drakfallov.
-
Sorry Drakie, I'll give you a call tomorrow.......
But I need to ask: Doggy Digger, have you the complete Catweazle Collection??
-
Right you mongrels....
1. Get out of my shed, put the bikes back I'm NOT dead yet!
2. Now I know who me mates are Harvey!
3.......and you Kalika want me to ferry your ill-gotten parts tax free through customs?
4. As for you Baker.... lets just say that I've been letting people put more deposits on your 175 than seaguls have on the harbour bridge. So far 6 people think they own it, ha!
5. Hammond, always trying to upstage me; do better next time, try to knock yourself into next week and get me out of here...
6. Morris, how many days do I have to do straight up to beat your hospital record, or is it just frequency of visits?
As for matron, she's the only one who understands my need for TLC in ways I can't explain on this family friendly forum. If I can just stop her hand from shaking as she shaves me....
...half seriously guys, at least I can make my apologies here for f----g up our deserved repuation for whipping UK arse... but I'm heading to the Hot Trod to eat large servings of humble pie next weekend, gawd, when will the humiliation end? NOT WHEN I GET HOME OBVIOUSLY FROM YOU B--STDS!!!!
Actually Nigel and Sue have liberated me from Blackpool Hospital and I can't believe how my taste buds have withered over the past week...I am in seventh heaven right now in a quaint stone cottage supping on lasagne, salad, garlic bread, peaches and fruit salad heavy on the liquer and lively conversation.
Heart attacks - hey, they lead to the most unexpected outcomes. Little did I know that when I shook a rugged looking man's hand in the field at Greythwaite what lay before me.Nigel looks as though he could break a man in half with little effort yet is as shy retiring type.(see photo above) Little did I know that the person I handed my card into before I went for a 'lie down' (Sue) would be taking me across the UK through scenery that makes postcards look very average and serving a meal that puts a lie to every poor conception of English cooking (well, my mother's at least).
AH guys, I'm blissed out and blessed, this is the life.
Cheers, you b-------s.

Bugger he's not dead! Just like Drakie to fall in a pile of s%#t and come up smelling of rose's. PS need transport to get a jawa from Sydney to Melbourne

Don't worry Steve, I still have some pins for the Drakie doll. I didn't want to do it the first time you asked but now it'd be an interesting experiment in coincidence (like the email I sent him asking if he'd survived the event - before he'd ridden!). They worked pretty well the first time.
-
Get well drakey, I know what is waiting for me in that lovely shed of yours as I have helped put it there, i have kindly place my name stickers on bikes that will be wheeled out
with TLC, Thank Sarah, We love you Drakey. ;);D :D
-
, I still have some pins for the Drakie doll.
If he is anything like Catweasel and full of Garlic. .pins aint gonna do anything. ;D
Great to read your in third gear again though Peter.
-
Drakies Resurrection :o
Lets face it
He's not the Messiah he's just a very naughty boy!!! :P
best they be healthy Lasagnes Mr D
I believe the Drakefallov doll was only meant to be used in the spirit of competition @ Harrow ;D
I have heard that someone has a Voodoo Canam370 version of a stretch armstrong doll, which they tie into knots midway thru an event.

Right you mongrels....
1. Get out of my shed, put the bikes back I'm NOT dead yet!
Bugger, I will have to pick those locks again, I was hoping you would at least have alzheimers and forget how many bikes you own.
5. Hammond, always trying to upstage me; do better next time, try to knock yourself into next week and get me out of here...
I hope you weren't whining like bloody Hammond..

I tried to suggest they hold him down more gently, like with a nice soft pillow over his head but they wouldn't buy it.
6. Morris, how many days do I have to do straight up to beat your hospital record, or is it just frequency of visits?
3 weeks straight, Accumulative around 10 weeks, not including day surgery
I think you’ve still got a bit to go, try harder.

Hmmm, maybe someone has one of me, my arms often tie into knots midway through an event.
