Bill Williamson
Dad got wacked in the rear driving his H.P. Scooter last Tuesday riding in the bike lane. He was very lucky that he came out with only a broken leg bone above his knee. The helmet took a beating when he got thrown off but it saved him from head trauma. They put a few straight screws ( he refused Phillips heads ) to piece him back together. All went well and is now in rehab with no computer till he is able to stand on it then he can go home, so chasing the nurses around has been a daunting task. He told me now he can upgrade to the newer faster model but will always wear his lucky helmet. He sounds great and buster t is in good hands

Re: Bill Williamson
Glad to hear all will be OK. Did he have to supply his own straight-blade screwdriver?

Re: Bill Williamson
I also hope brother Bill makes a quick recovery !!!!!!! I was begining to wonder why I haven't seen any of his posts for the past few days. I know this will be tough on Buster T as well. I hope they will be able to take Buster T to visit Bill while he is in rehab. Thanks Mitch for letting us know.

Re: Bill Williamson
He is a tough bird, and a lucky one. I will add him to my prayer list. That sounds like several months of rehab. Maybe the new model scooter gets a bicyclists" strobe light, they are more visible.

Re: Bill Williamson
This worried some of us here in Fresno. My shop is about 8 miles from his house,
and he'd show-up here and another shop just South on me. His scooter has a range of 35 miles. It's not Willie(Bill),.....it's the majority of dip-sxxts drivers in this city. They squash a lot of people.....and the "hit and run" is rampant! This guy is too frail,..and this is no BS,...to be going one on one with a car! Dudley |

Re: Bill Williamson
That really sucks. We have a lot of marked bike lanes on the Minneaoplis streets, but a lot of driver's ignore that they are bike lanes.
Glad to hear Bill's doing better. I had no idea those scooters could go 35 miles. That's good for battery power. Bill might have to soup up his next one with a gas engine to get out of the way of stupid drivers. I wonder if Bill's scooter did have any flashing LED lights on the rear? |

Re: Bill Williamson
Oh, gee, tell him God Bless and prayers for a speedy recovery...
Also, if we all tossing to $5-$10 and if there was someone who could deliver it, a cheap Tablet pc might cheer him up. And not sure if I can last that long with his humor. I'm in for $10.

Re: Bill Williamson
Lets pray Bill has a speedy recovery, unfortunate but we wish him the best. I didn't realize he was related to Mitch, Purdy and Dusty, small world isn't it.

Re: Bill Williamson
Glad to hear Bill is in good spirits which can win for him over half of his battle ........ but .......... on second thought ....... with Bill in good spirits, this may cause a very serious problem ...................... maybe the nurses may not want to discharge Bill & want to keep him longer to splurge on his daily wit.
We are all with you Bill! |
