HOBBIT crashes for real

S

SLIP STREAM

M.I.A.
yesterday morning hobbit was involved in an accident on his hog.he impacted the windshield and hood surfed a bit.he was released from the hospital yesterday afternoon and is home.he says he's ok at the moment.but his harley is totaled.and of course he's making missions instead of taking easy.guess you can't keep a good hobbit down.
 
Egads!
HH - truly glad to hear you're ok!
truly sorry about the hog!

We will all look forward to heightened mission output......
 
Grief, I should have guessed. Whoever lets a Hobbit loose with any sort of machinery wants their head looking at!

Owen, I trust you really ARE OK? Bad luck though on the bike. You have my deepest sympathy on that one. I suppose - trying to find something positive to say - it gives you the opportunity to get a decent bike though, like a Commando or a Bonnie! ;-)
 
You weren't standing on the seat of a bike now, were you? Owen, Owen.....

Hope you're feeling less bruised soon. :wavey:

Best wishes on Owen's recovery. And I agree on the new bike. I was awful fond of my old Triumph Trident.
 
I've been riding for 17 years and would be lying if I said I've never slid down the asphalt.
sorry to hear this news, really sorry about your bike....I know the feeling.
 
Best wishes for a quick recovery Owen - both for you and the bike.

ps. I hope the nurses were nice to you / for you

pps. I hope your wife isn't saying "I told you so" too much
 
HOBBIT Update

those of us that have been through impacts like this.know the second day is worse.so it is with owen.he's very sore and briused "in places he didn't know could get briused" he on heavy pain killers.and has to report back to the hospital monday.he's ok for the most part.he's well attended. an aunt thats a nurse is with him 24hrs. he thanks all that have posted and e'd.
He's really bumbed. the bike is a complete total. the young girl ran an intersection and broadsided him at over 45mph. two cars and the bike destroyed.she got 5 tickets and is being drug tested. owen was not at any fault.and has no memory of the impact untill the emt's pulled him from the windshield/hood. he'll post when he's able.
 
See what happens when you keep playing with that "Ring" while riding a motor-cicle!

GET WELL SOON OWEN! (well,at least your "fur" didnt catch in the sprocket! :D)
