Went down today, One less harley in the world now..

I know the other side of that story. Never got to paint a killmark on the car 'though...


(Stop shouting at me already, the biker was okay. A good trajectory, well executed landing and body armor saved him.)


Glad you're okay, HH.
 
Glad you're okay HH....I'm so looking forward to stalking Hobbit in the future!

For what it's worth...everyone is supposed to lay his bike down at least once. I came damn close once, and it got my heart pumping.

Friend of mine laid his Ultra down on the off ramp coming off the A-6 Autobahn in Mannheim. He was fortunate enough to be just a bit sore (wearing full leathers). He was going about 60 MPH.
 
Laid my first one down twice. Got off pretty much unhurt both times. Never dropped another. I was darned lucky. Now, I'm messing around with horses in my old age. Still waiting to get thrown off.
 
God Bless you all..
Thank you very much for the kind concern..

Yea I am finally a true Biker..:jump:..
I didn't get any road rash to speak of, ended my ride embedded in the windshield of the car that hit me..
A dear biker friend has scooter bike in his garage, I will she her remains tomorrow.. Not looking forward to this..
many have shown me GREAT Kindness..Including all of you here..
Thanks very Much..

Our Lord again managed to keep me alive, in a bad situation..
THANKS BE TO GOD...

I am recovering, and I was pleased to say they didn't have to shave my feet either..Was concerned about that you know..

I am up late, can't sleep.. The pain meds are something i am not used to..
Don't like these things at all..But I know right now I need them..

My dear aunt, a nurse has been keeping a close watch the past 24 or so Hours..

she is so cool keeps asking me stupid questions like what is my name,(El supreme Hobbit: master of the universe) and how old I am eleventy-five ( hobbit years)..
Then then she gets all mad..
and shinning a light in my eyes, she already knows it is empty in there.. I don't know what she is looking for???
I gress I did suffer a bit of a concusion from it all..

I am alone right now I ran everyone off earlier, under Much protest.
And My Dear nephew Alex, God Bless Him has been here also..

I would ask all to pray for the young lady who Hit me, perhaps she will learn from it all..
And be Blessed by our Lord with a bit more wisdom..

Oh Hobbits bounce very well, I am pleased to say..:jump:

and one of the police at the crash was a old friend from many years ago, He stopped by today to let me Know There was nothing I could have done..it is very troubling right now..

I don't remember alot, except being lifted by the EMT's from the car..I am unable to remember the hit right now..That troubles me greatly..
I am puzzled, I have always managed to keep a clear vision and always keep my eyes moving searching for problems when I ride..
I am not able to work out were I messed up and missed the car that ran the light.... But I am stiil having problems focusing right now..

I am up late tonight, the meds are messing with me..
And aren't able to sit upright at the present without discomfort, But I am okay..
and will get better.

God Bless each of you.. Thanks very Much,
Owen

Classic signs of a concussion HH. Your nurse friend is absolutely right asking you those silly questions. We don't want a Hobbit with brain damage...
Glad you're feeling well enough to complain. A sure sign of improvement.
 
I have road a bike all my life and this has happened to me a lot, that is someone did not see me.
For the past 5 years I have had an old ural with a side car and not once has anyone ever pulled out in front of me I guess it is because it is wide and has lots of lights on it.
 
Thank you all vey much, the kindness is so very wonderful..
BRAVO to all..
I am up I have House guests it seems on one wants me left alone..LOL.

Theresa and my friend Bill are having a discussion on Who is going to sleep with me tonight..LOL..
I hope Bill wins..LOL.. Theresa is dangerous but again any 23 year old is dangerous to me..
She is a friend I have had in my life since she was a young one, I gress she adopted me..
They both are from out of town, and I do realize the effort many are putting out on my behalf..
Bill has been my friend for twenty five years or so, I am sorry to say he has been down three times during those years, and I never left his side.. Someone had to abuse him.. So now he said it is my turn..LOL..
I was checked again by My anut, (the nurse), she shows up each day to watch after me..
I didn't expect all of this..
Truly humbled right now.. Man I always throught I was just the hang around guy, but it does seem in spite of my best efforts, some seem to have taken a liking to me..
God Bless them..
And THANKS Very MUCH to my online family here at SOH..
Not to worry i'll be up in a few days picking on the men folk, and flirting with Chacha and C9G
Boy, that will get me in trouble..LOL..
Thanks all..I am okay, just recovering here..
God Bless everyone..
 
Man, I am gone for a day or 2 and you go and take down a car, or vice versa!

I am really glad you are well and safe HH. Its wierd. I have been running around getting parts for my car and was thinking, while on the highway today, about an accident one of the guys saw here at SOH, a biker was hit. I was remembering another guy, a kid, back long ago, who had a nice red KZ crotch rocket. He laid it down with shorts on, bike rode his leg. He was crippled for life, going into recovery with training on walking again.

I was in one accident (one of two) on my Honda. Person pulled out in front of me, I hit the brakes, did final decelleration straight up in the air, landed on the bike and fell over on the street. I broke the hand brake handle off with my thigh.


Again, I am so glad you are safe man. You can always get new bikes. Body parts, or life for that matter, are a different matter completely. Be thankful. Thank you God for spairing our HH.



Heal up man. Relax..



Bill
 
Glad to hear you're okay. **** happens, as they say, and usually it is bad for us riders. Hope you'll get a new ride soon. Despite the sensitivity to us, it still beats driving a cage ;-)
 
My sympathies. I had a bad collision with a car at a junction 21 years ago and still suffer for it. Glad to hear you aren't hurt.
