A plumber, a tile layer, and a roofer also died today. They were about as "moto" as this harley guy. Just saying. R.I. P.
Bruce stayed on the good side of karma,

You,mxdad,do not.If you are a dad I'd hate to be your son.

Also,It would be nice to log on in the morning and read you died mowing your lawn or something,you know,something that doesn't have anything to do with MX.

The grounds keeper at the cemetery will have trouble keeping you covered up with all the piss washing the dirt away

Sad News - Bruce Rossmeyer: Bruce Rossmeyer, one of the nation's largest Harley-Davidson dealers and a supporter of charitable causes that helped thousands of children, was killed Thursday in a motorcycle crash in Wyoming as he made his way to the Sturgis, S.D., 69th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Rossmeyer is survived by his wife, Sandy, five children and nine grandchildren. Jeans and untucked shirts made up his CEO attire as Rossmeyer personified the fantasy of a millionaire biker. His private jet has flames running down the side like a Harley. His arm bore the signature Harley logo, permanently.
Rossmeyer helped found, and served on the board of directors for, Camp Boggy Creek, a division of The Hole in the Wall camps; sponsored "Ride for Children," the camp's annual charity motorcycle ride; served on the executive committee of Boys & Girls Clubs of Volusia/Flagler Counties; sponsored "Kyle Petty Ride Across America;" served on the board of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County and the Police Athletic League for the city of Daytona Beach.
NASCAR driver Kyle Petty formed his own camp for children modeled after Camp Boggy Creek after the death of his son Adam in 2000. Rossmeyer helped him to form Victory Junction in North Carolina after years of taking part in the local ride for children. Rossmeyer continued every year to hold similar fundraising rides for Victory Junction and other charities. Mr. Rossmeyer has been a major sponsor of the "Kyle Petty Ride Across America" which also benefits children's hospitals they encounter on the trip. In 2008, to commemorate the 60 years of NASCAR, Rossmeyer teamed up with NASCAR to create 60 custom motorcycles, each individually serialized No. 1 through 60. Each motorcycle captures the true essence of NASCAR -- a sport that combines design, technology and speed. Motorcycle No. 60 in the series was presented to Petty, who auctioned off the one-of-a-kind motorcycle with proceeds benefiting Victory Junction (a few of these motorcycles are still for sale).
A celebration of Rossmeyer's life is scheduled for Tuesday, August 4, 2009 at 11:00am at Christ Presbyterian Church, 1035 W. Granada Blvd., Ormond Beach, FL with Pastor John Cole officiating. His family will also receive friends on Monday August 3, 2009 from 4-9pm at Lohman Funeral Home Ormond. Memorial donations can be made to the Camp Boggy Creek, 30500 Brantley Branch Road, Eustis, FL 32736, or Boys and Girl's Club of Volusia/Flagler Counties, 101 North Woodland Blvd., Ste 400, Deland, FL 32720-4296. In addition, friends may send condolences to LohmanFuneralHomes.com. Arrangements are under the careful direction of Lohman Funeral Home Ormond.(info compiled from many sources including Daytona Beach News Journal)(7-31-2009)
