I don't know what to say.
Hopefully his family will get in touch and maybe there is something we can do for them. |

If we can't get in touch with his family, I say we give a donation in his honor to the rescue squad/emt's that work that area.

I found the local forum he used to post on. It looks like they are going to try and get a regular trackday spot to get riders onto the track and out of the canyons (in his name).

Ask them if they get with his family to let us know what their wishes are and if they want us to give to something he was in support of.

After reading that thread, I think the track day is a bad idea for us to join in. Why? Because it's not what Bill loved. He loved street riding. I think giving to the rescue squad is a better idea. Maybe the money could be used for something that saves another rider out there in his canyon.
Bill was always steadfast in his beliefs, would he change his mind about street riding?

Well, he did attend several track days, but due to time & convenience, he rode the streets more often........particularly that same road (Ortega) with a core group of people

Trip, he wasn't against trackdays. Just cheap
I think these guys are thinking if they make it easier to get to the track, guys will go. I'm torn. |
