Bruce Rossmeyer Dies
Bruce Rossmeyer, an Icon in the Harley Davidson community, was killed in a motorcycle accident. Bruce was riding to Sturgis, SD with a group of friends when he was run off the road by a pickup truck Thursday. Bruce’s Harley Dealership in Daytona Beach has been a fixture among riders visiting during Daytona Bike Week for years.
The Wyoming State Patrol says Rossmeyer was trying to pass a pickup pulling a trailer about 18 miles east of Farson. Sgt. Stephen Townsend says the truck driven by 73-year-old Robert VanValkenburg of Rock Springs was turning left onto a dirt road when the collision occurred.
Townsend says VanValkenburg had his left-turn signal on. Rossmeyer was thrown from the motorcycle and landed under the trailer. He was not wearing a helmet.
No other motorcycles were involved in the crash. (Source: CBS Channel 4 News)
Bruce will be missed by all. Rest in Peace.
