****,
I'll use my website to post some pictures, then I'll dare anyone to ride
with me.
I made that offer last year and no takers.
Bike, hike, swimming hole, 55 MPH downhills, and all.
It's a standing offer to all who ride a bike, and has been for 2 years.
The days are too short this year but come next summer it will still be
an offer.

Bill Baka


55 mph downhills? LOL. You're so full of **** I'd be surprised if you
didn't get stuck to the tar before you reached 5 mph.



Look asshole, I have made the dare to ride with me for the last 3 years
and no takers. The 55 MPH was actually about 57 MPH but I was too busy
watching out for my ass I didn't see the readout except for passing 55.
That is a ride down a main road with a 55 MPH speed limit and it is steep.

If I want any **** from you I will squeeze your head.

Bill Baka


Is it true you also broke the sound barrier when you cycled down the
north face of Mount Everest where you'd mountain biked to the top to see
a rare orchid?

Do you have to go through a wardrobe to get there?

Not a whole change but Levis come in handy on some parts of the
non-trail. I hit the swimming hole on the way back and wade in clothes


hahaha! Priceless. Superb trolling.

I was referring to this meaning :

and all then undress and wring out my clothes. At least I can get
un-sweaty after the hardest part of the ride. There is a pond/swimming
hole at the bottom of the water fall but enough people have drowned
there, there is a fence around it, and I don't want to get sucked into
the waterfall.
It is hidden enough that I can't even find it on Mapquest or Google
Earth. The location is about 10 miles east of Beale AFB.
The waterfall itself is a double falling first to a rock plateau, then
the pond. I think some of the fatalities were from trying to jump off
the top and hitting the rocks.
It is a nice place to relax but a road bike would be hopelessly useless
on that terrain.

Wow, I didn't know that waterfalls can suck you in. Are you sure about
that, Bill? Really sure?

By the way, the "wardrobe" question above had nothing to do with changing
clothes. A wardrobe is also a piece of furniture. It has to do with a
recent popular movie... See if you can figure it out, dummy.

Post the pics, Bill.


And for a spot that somehow eludes google's satellite cameras it sure
seems quite commercialised. What with fencing, dead people and a
McDonalds at the upper "plateau".

Bill Baka has to be a very funny troll!

We have some idiot drivers around here but hardly homicidal.
I did have to bail earlier this year and I am damned glad I was on the
wrong side. A new Muni bus was driving with the right wheels in the
middle of the bike lane. Even when I bailed and he had to have seen
me, he still stayed in the bike lane. Legally riding I would not be
alive to bug you about wrong way riding.
Simple enough or do I need to post a picture?

I don't know. Maybe that bus driver doesn't like hobos...

That's another problem with 'wrong way riding' ... 'Barmy
Bill' was actually facing the driver, who possibly thought '
The silly sod wants to play Chicken ... Hang on ... I
recognize that face ... OK ...'

Really ****ing sure. The official death toll is 22 people dead, hence
the fence.

WTF you talking about??? I tried to follow it and the trail is so
non-existent I lost it even though I know the general direction.

Bill Baka has to be a very funny troll!

It isn't a troll. At least I know I will never be bothered by the likes
of you city sissies.

Do you ever tire of making **** up?

Once again, I ask you. Post the pics, Bill. How come you are avoiding
this issue now? You offered to do so, now do it.

Hey Bill. How come you are not responding to the many requests for you
to post some pics, *AFTER* you volunteered to do so?

Has your mouth finally caught up with you, Bill? You made some claims,
offered to post pics, and then when people say "yes, post the pics"...,
you disappear. How do you think that makes you look, Bill?

Post the pics, Bill, and shut me up.
