Manx GP

First topic message reminder :

Those that attended BC this year and recent big & wee Macs will remember Bob and Pete the "elderly" brothers who ride rather quickly. Pete rides an equally elderly silver Honda VFR. I have just received news this morning that Pete has crashed heavily whilst practicing for the Classic Manx GP race, and has suffered a broken collar bone and pelvis, and no doubt multiple bruising. He's being flown to Liverpool this morning for an operation, as I get updates on his condition, I'll post up.

Oh my goodness, that's scarey stuff.

You're right about the blanking out thing, it's self preservation.

Thanks for keeping us posted, Hope he feels better real soon

YOIK'S Hope you heal up soon Pete..

Give him my best regard's Terry..

Ouch!  

Just spoken to Bob, he saw Pete Sunday afternoon, and he is very much better, sitting up and taking solids, hoping to be moved nearer to home shortly (Victoria hospital Bpl) He says he wont be racing anymore, but hopes to road ride again.

Scary times, that picture looks awful, from the looks of it he is ironically lucky to be in the state he is and I just hope he makes a speedy and strong recovery. 

Lets hope he gets back on the horse again, I've only met him once but he is truly one of the good uns, all our best Terry when you're next in contact.

Cheers

Fantastic news! Pete got transferred to Blackpool's Victoria hospital, and since then has been discharged, along with a zimmer frame. He has hung up his racing leathers for good, but is hoping to be back on a road bike early in the new year.

Briliant news, Im so happy for him.   He has been very lucky, but im sure he'll be back in the saddle soon. might slow him down a bit, couldn't keep up with him at BC, ill be in with a chance now.

Steady on now Prime, he has about 50 years fast riding tucked in his belt.

Great news Tes.

yes it was great to follow the pair of them and the rest of the chaps including yourself who have been riding longer than ive been alive. be great to see him back at bishops castle, tell him he's got 8 and a half months to recover! : )

Excellent news, the fastest zimmer in the West  

Thanks for the update, and pass on my best wishes for a rapid return to the saddle.

Its been a while since I last posted on this subject, but delighted to report that Pete was out for a ride with brother Bob the other weekend and is fully recovered. He is booked in at the poppy house for this years B/C and might also make the W/M.

Very good news Tes.

Brilliant news.

Great news!

Great news for Pete, be good to see him again at BC, (and be left trailing in his wake as last year)!!

Good news Terry, hope Pete can make the wee mac.......

Davie........................

Excellent news Terry, hard as nails you boys.

That's amazing Terry, it's not always easy to recover from such an accident the older you get, not just physically but mentally too and it's easy to lose confidence.

Looking forward to seeing you all at BC!
