My friend Bill was found dead in his house, yesterday. I've known him since before Kindergarden. He lived next door to my aunt, and we would play together often when we were little. We both loved Motorcycles. I think he had a Heart Attack, but I don't know that for certain, right now. All I know is that his sister called me up in tears to tell me the news. She hadn't heard from him, and he wasn't answering his phone. She called the local Police, and they broke into his house and found him dead. He lived in California; he moved there back in the late '80s because he hated New England winters. I 'm really feeling sad and very ambivalent. We had no warning that he was having any health issues. I'm really going to miss him. I've posted this picture of his bike on here in the past, but it really is a testament to him. He loved Iron Motor Sportsters, and he detested the trailer your bike mentality; so when he built a custom, he built one that looked better the dirtier it got. And he would ride the damned thing anywhere.

Hey Crusty, I am really sorry to hear about the loss of a friend. I lost my best friend 2 years ago, and it is really shocking what type of hole that losing a close friend can leave in your life. Rest in peace, fellow rider. |

Crusty, All the days ahead will be filled with memories of your friend Bill. You'll cry, you'll laugh. But mostly, you'll miss a guy who made sense of this world we live in. Good friends always make the days we have here, on this round ball, better! |
