That is just terrible news. Indeed prayers for his family.
He rides on to a better place.

A great loss for motor assisted bike riders in particular, and the world in general. He demonstrated the practicality of living well on a limited budget.
RIP Bama

At least we now know that there will be motored bikes in Heaven.
RIP Paul you will be missed but not forgotten.

Wow sad news - reading the long distance stories was a real inspiration that it could be done.

i don't have anything else to say than what ive already said 'next door':
bama had a very interesting demeanor. ive "known" him for years and sometimes it was hard to tell if he has being serious or just spinnin' a yarn.
nonetheless, he had a way with words and his posts, if not particularly helpful given the subject matter (liked the pranks) were always interesting.
Wakan Tanka is watching over him.

i can't get all flowery
y'all will have to deal with some public grief beyond epitaph, please...it turns out i didn't even know how much paul's presence meant to me, ok? not forums or mb's, directly...but about the inspiration he provided many of us, whether up-front or out his tail pipe it always made sense, he inspired you in your own way, me in my own way, we all had roles to play...and a lot of good stuff got done, end of story.
i always knew where i stood with Paul...we all know how rare that is...doggone it bamabikeguy was my friend. and now i miss him. and i'm saying so. i didn't exactly need to see anything new from him that often, i got used to his style, but here's the deal: this morning i had a good cry with my coffee because this time i KNEW there wouldn't be a new bama-post.
a link "for paul" will remain in my sig, it's not drama, it's all i have left to give the guy in return for everything he's done for me. i'll settle down and find a nicer one, i'd like to use mabman's comment, with permission of course...

Didn't know Paul for long, but he helped me enormously when I got here, as he's done for hundreds of others.
He'll be missed here and MBc won't quite be the same any more.
