I gress it had to happen sooner or later, for My sister and family are very upset, My nephew is going to spend the night tonight to keep a eye on me..LOL..
Really Bummed out.aftet 36 years of riding It finally happened..

I need to rest, and clear out all the folks that have starting showing up here....
Damn... give me a few days, and i'll be back up..

God bless you, and i'll be back in a day or so..
Need to say some prayers and lick my wounds..

I hate to hear it HH, but the good thing is that you're allright. Scooter bikes can be replaced, people can't.

I rode for several years and while I lost one on some ice and went under a parked truck (longish story), I was lucky and never actually got hit.

Take care of yourself.

Rest up HH and take care. Sorry to hear about the bike but I hope they nail the driver to a tree!

I rode bikes for 19 years back in the UK in all seasons and took a few spills myself but always seemed to 'bounce' well and had no injuries. I was nailed once by a car driver on a roundabout (traffic circle). I was about to exit when he came straight out in front of me without ever stopping at the 'give way' line! I put the bike on it's side but still slammed into his driver's side door which catapulted me off the bike and into a heap on the road while the bike climbed a low wall on the roundabout which caused the rucksack full of groceries on the rear rack to 'explode' showering tins and packages of food all over the road!

The damn fool had been busy yakking at a piece of skirt in the passenger seat and never checked for traffic already on the roundabout! :angryfir:
 
Glad to hear you're OK,Hobbit. Take it easy over the next few days at least...some injuries aren't instantaneous and can rear there ugly head after a couple of days (as I know only too well). Not trying to frighten you...just asking you to take care of yourself. :)


Was never into bikes,myself...I was bit of an accident magnet on four wheels as it is. None my fault though. My BIL's Hayabusa has me tempted though :d
 
It's good that you're ok. You're very lucky and I know that you know that. Rest up a bit and pay attention to any headaches you may get.


:running:
 
So the fur was flying. She probably had never seen a Hobbit riding a Harley. HH take care, I was not going to make a video tonight so get some rest.

Stay well my friend,
Mike
 
Well the good news is you're alive and well. Unfortunately I know or rather have known far too many that didn't make the "trip".
I've been darn lucky in the years that I rode ... it pains me greatly to say that I haven't ridden in years.

The bike can be replaced ... I'm sure we'd think twice if we had to find a replacement for you. :wavey:
 
So glad your gonna be OK. As it's already been stated, you can replace the bike. Much harder to replace you!
Rest up for awhile and then see if there's any parts worth salvage.
Remember, loud pipes save lives!
 
I am relieved you are ok!

I had my one and only accident on a motorcycle way back in 1973. I still have road cinders embedded in my right hand. Had one other bike, a 1982 Goldwing, and sold it years ago, as I wasn't riding anymore.

House Hobbit....

Now dangit...don't go and git yurself killed off. I just got me a set of reliable wheels...and afore too long will have to drive it to Dayton to make sure the fuel tank can hold that much gas...and you know that I plan on draggin your hairy-footed self to the USAF Museum for the day.

Bikes can be replaced...they made millions of them and will make more...but Hobbits are pretty rare!

Hello I am Hobbit's Nephew,
he wants everyone to know he will be okay..

Several of his Friends are here, and One of his big biker friends just put him to bed..
He doesn't realize he is hurt, and refused to rest, but the big guys are dealing with him..

I want to thank everyone for Him also..
we are all very worried , But as One of the Bikers just said, Hobbits have 9 lives, and he just used another one is all..

I shall be here with him tonight, and Tomorrow some of his girl friends will be here also..
I want everyone know here he was concerned that some may be worried about it all..
So he asked me to sent this..
Got to go now..
 
I am sorry to hear of the accident HH but happy you came our with only minor scratches. Bikes can be replaced. Friends can not.
 
Glad you're OK, you're VERY lucky! I had dirt bikes when I was growing up, but I say NAY to street bikes. I've seen two car/motorcycle impacts, and I've happened upon the aftermath of three more. Very gruesome.

I will never ride a street bike.
 
WOW you are one very fortunate individual...you walked away from it! AMAZING! Take it easy for a while you are probably in shock to some degree tomorrow you may be very sore-EVERYWHERE!
Glad your OK HH!

I've had two "majors" over 44 years ('68 & '84).......both times I was wearing a helmet. 2nd one destroyed my helmet and resulted in a nasty skull fracture and partial right eye "blow-out".
You REALLY have to "stay on your toes" !!
Glad you're ok.........it's gonna be Advil time for the next week or so.

Glad you're okay, HH, rest up and take it easy for a bit, you're gonna hurt in places you didn't even know you had! We'll keep the light on for ya!
 
Thank God you are Ok, Owen,

Be sure you get checked from the hospital, x-rays and stuff....
Do not worry about the bike...
 
Owen, So glad to hear that you came out the other side of the encounter in one piece. You are aware of my bike crash in 2006 and some didn't think that I would ever ride again or be able to for that matter, but six months to the day after the crash I bought another bike, a bigger, faster bike, lol. That is a choice you have to make for yourself, to replace "scooter bike" or no, everyone can give you advice on it but ultimately it comes down to what you decide is best for you. I guess the best thing to say on that note is this, "All riders go down, some ride again, some don't, some can't." I understand that "scooter bike" was your only form of transportation and that it will have to be replaced with something, but concentrate on getting yourself back to 100% before you begin worrying about that. A broken hobbit is no good to any of us, so listen to what you are being told and do what you are told, no matter if you feel fine. You have my number if you want to talk to someone that has been there and is still recovering. Joe
