| Novice Racer  Joined: Jan 2005 From: Bremerton,WA I Ride: 08 Zed x 10R | I didn't know Bill but i can see from this post he was a very well loved fellow rider that will be missed by everyone. After loosing Mike this week in the same way i know exactly how his friends and loved ones are feeling and my heart goes out to you. I am trying to think of all the good times together and not how things have ended. The tragic events of this week have changed how i feel about riding, i have not givin up but after 30 years of riding i finally feel like it could happen to me if it could happen to these skilled riders. Nothing wrong with slowing down a little bit for me,I have nothing to prove. I never want to put my family and friends through this kind of pain. R.I.P Bill |

Your hubby was a fantastic guy. Bill tried to make my annual ride two or three times.. this year he had to bow out due to last minute circumstances and told me "definitely next year"..... Dammit.... Please let us know if we can help in any way. You and the family will continue to be in my prayers. | |

I'd only ridden with Bill a few times and bumped into him at the track here and there and maybe a bike night... but I always enjoyed his company and he was always very friendly and kind. PNW lost someone great. My condolences... |

 ..."yeah busas can't corner, but you're behind me on a 600 that CAN corner, so you must really suck." sooo true, in Bills case.  | |

I Ride: knowing that everything that's meant to happen...eventually does. | I rewatched a video clip recently where in one of the caption lines, MCA8690 said [about Bill], "He may be slow but he's got a vicious dog to back up all the talk!" hahaha My favorite post of Bills 'busa track pic's I'll miss running into the Milktruck from time to time out Klickitat way.
