    Many of you know or have otherwise corresponded with bill on this forum.

    I have just received a call from his son saying bill was taken to the hospital this morning. The details are as yet sketchy but here is what I know. bill was in a motorcycle accident this morning. He has been taken to the trauma center. His son says he has apparently experienced brain trauma and is having a tube inserted (presumably to relieve pressure/swelling?). His son was having trouble keeping his composure during the conversation so it must be very serious.

    I will probably not post again until late this evening but please keep bill in your thoughts and prayers.

    Wow this is some heartbreaking news... I really hope and pray that he will have a full recovery. I also pray for his family in this time.
    I have just recently joined this website and Bill was the first one to welcome me. I was truly impressed with not only his knowledge but his willingness to share it with anyone on the site.
    I was really looking forward to meeting him in person on the Aviation Museum ride in a few weeks.
    He is in our thoughts......

    Bill was also the first person to welcome me to the forum. His XS 400 thread was what made me decide to post and not just lurk. He is a wealth of knowledge, and he shares it freely. Please pull through Bill, I just don't know what else to say... you have everyone's thoughts and prayers.

    Bill,
    Here's for a speedy recovery. I was looking forward to meeting you on the 8th, so we will just make it a little later, that's all. Hope to see you soon,
