bamabikeguy - You will be missed... R.I.P.

[gone_fishin]

well, the ramblin' man's stories and projects caught our attention, so we asked bama'guy if he wouldn't mind pitching in around here, and he has kindly agreed

i hope you enjoy his witty and informative writing as much as i do..."take it away, bamabikeguy!!"

and, thank you 8)

I'm not a biker, but I know that a friend of mine posted here occasionally. Unfortunately, I am here to let people know that Bama Bike Guy passed away last night from a massive heart attack.

RIP, P.C. I'll miss you.

RIP 'Bama...

Truly a tragedy to the biking community.... What a great asset he has been. Peace to you brother Paul.
Here is his photo link to a few of his many talents. http://www.motoredbikes.com/album.php?albumid=536

it was not news i wanted to believe (or post on MBc) until i could confirm it...i chose this topic because it was originally the announcement that Paul had joined MBc-staff way back when. thank you lou for the edit. MBc was bama'guy's home, a house he helped build...he was still greeting new arrivals just this week, and was always helping wherever & whenever & whoever he could...and constantly encouraging wannabe travelers such as myself to live it up while you can.

bamabikeguy was a TRUE MB-Ambassador like no other.

i had planned on visiting him this summer, he still owed me .50 in gas for teaching him how to post those images, and dangit i was gonna collect...his mom says i am still welcome to visit, so i am going to go see my buddy anyway.

damm this is really painful like nothing i've ever felt...many hard lessons this morning for me.

I still carry more tools than I need because of his 'road kit' thread

his advice and experience with mb'ing were invaluable to me...
