Default Bruce Rossmeyer, RIP
Bruce Rossmeyer, godfather of Destination Daytona, died today in a motorcycle crash in WY on the way to Sturgis. I was just in his store in Daytona today and it was a real sad place. Here's the article: http://www.news-journalonline.com/Ne...ruce073009.htm

That sucks! I met the man a couple of years ago in Daytona and he seemed to be a real nice guy.

I met him out in Sturgis one year when we were out at dinner. Here is the bike he was riding then. He was with Arlen Ness.
