There seems to be a "thing" about bikes and hospitals and ambulances.<br />Get well soon; Hopefully, you can piece the events back together to determine what happened! I'd sure like to know.

While I will not...Hey Hans--thanks for communique,<br /><br />While I will not call what I did a "Hans" because I respect you too much I did crash. <br />Glad to hear you are back on bike and as I write this one of my first goals will be to get better enough to ride up to Celina and visit a bit--or maybe we can meet half way--I will be in touch. <br /><br /><br /><br />About 15 minutes ago i finally got the bike and equipment back and took the first look at it since crash(that I can recall). I am now pretty sure I was wearing helmet. Although the shell itself is not real beat up all the internal webbing is ripped out. Add that to the fact that all the injuries start at least a few inches below helmet line. It looks probable that I het at an angle that tore helmet off. <br />The first people at scene tell me I was standing there holding helmet saying I was fine--and although I almost always wear that helmet I just can not remember it.In any event , it had to have helped . <br />In that same vein during the first phone call with wife after wreck I kept asking the same question,"What in the hell was I doing on a bicycle in the first place?". Miss Sassy says this was very disturbing to her.I do not recall that conversation either.<br /><br />Special thanks to Charlie Keihl who drove to very eastern Ohio today and picked up my stuff. Initially I wanted to ride along with him but the past few days of feeling poorly have taken that notion out of me, so he went by himself. Chas is a good a man as you will ever meet and I am proud to call him a friend.<br /><br />I also am looking at pics I took that day as well as notes I took and some more memory holes are filled. <br />There is some good posting stuff there and I will be uploading it all in the near future.<br /><br />Tonythebicyclemonologshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670352241167084337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655179819978410015.post-35530089035638605082009-08-22T16:41:56.365-07:002009-08-22T16:41:56.365-07:00Well, Tony, it looks like you pulled a Hans.

I'm just glad that I wore my helmet as the ranger in Cherokee said I would not have survived if I hadn't. Anyhow, I'm all healed up and back on my bike. I wish you the same speedy recovery.Hans Rehrmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884739558460052383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655179819978410015.post-40473380410066096392009-08-22T06:38:43.000-07:002009-08-22T06:38:43.000-07:00One thing about trying to convince yourself tht &q...One thing about trying to convince yourself tht "you are OK" after a wreck. Back in 75 when I took a header over my Kawasaki on Touvelle Street in Celina. A guy stopped and said he would drive me to Otis Hospital...I said "Nope, I'll be fine"...he then told me to look in his side mirror at my face...nuff said, I was off to Otis where Doc Finkelmeier proceeded to put 37 stitches in my chin, and the arms, knees, and chest, were made to look like a good beginning of The Mummy.PRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429172501061105316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655179819978410015.post-19003026565762964672009-08-22T06:17:36.198-07:002009-08-22T06:17:36.198-07:00Don't know what the Hell to say Tony...between...Don't know what the Hell to say Tony...between the 2 motorcycle wrecks(1975 and 1987) and the one major over the handlebar bike spill on the Celina-Coldwater Bike Path(1998), I lost plenty of skin and sense....the only "good" thing about any of the 3 is that I remember every second, all in slow motion.PRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429172501061105316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655179819978410015.post-84802841525825969962009-08-21T14:03:40.703-07:002009-08-21T14:03:40.703-07:00If you need a co-pilot let me know.

You'll make the right decision that way. You won't let anyone else down, whatever you decide. <br />If you want to go and the family doesn't want you to, you could compromise. I think one of those big granny tricycles should be safer! ;) Get well soon!Munchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02701536395484410511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655179819978410015.post-52049090214288976122009-08-21T09:28:07.258-07:002009-08-21T09:28:07.258-07:00hi tony,
