A recent post "Where is Fabrizio?" made me think of Bill. Is he still out there lurking? Or has he just given up on us? Maybe he is off doing one of his "off road imperial centuries". If you are out there Bill, come on back we miss you!

I understand that Wild Bill has decided to chuck it all and ride around the world. He was last sighted just off the coast of California.

Did not someone warn him that you can't ride over the ocean? I miss that nutty guy.
Ken -- Quit? You know, once I was thinking of quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit.

You must have missed the "riding on the wrong side of the road" threads. Warnings cannot penetrate the baka-shield.
Besides, he's not on a skinny tired "roady". He's on a big-tired Huffy mountain bike with water bottles strapped on the front forks. It'll float I tell ya! Don't you know nothing about boyancy? I'm sure he figured out all math with a slide-rule and doublechecked it on the TRS-80 he found in the ditch.

Oh yeah I must have forgotten about the boyancy of those big balloony tires on those things. And as long as he used the TSR-80 or the C-64 to work the math out right he should be okay.

The mother-ship came for him. He'd finally saved up enough $500 pipe bombs to buy a ticket. -- zk

Maybe he is at the bottom of one of the ravines he said he rides along. Some hiker will find some bones next to a wrecked HUFFY some day.

I second that. Lately this group seems to have lost more than its share of interesting posters. Their loss, and the arrival of a number of uninteresting, offensive denizens, seems to have discouraged even more of the people I come here to meet.

There was a time, not so long ago, in a galaxy not so far away, when there were more interesting things going on in R.B.M. - but now it seems like there are too many social and political type threads here. And lest not for get all the highracer spam that gets cross-posted on a whole mess of NGs. I have made a resolution to avoid even reading threads when they start getting too OT. And never to rely to them.
