Heard from my H-D brother that owner of biggest H-D Dealership dies

« on: August 05, 2009, 06:10:35 PM »

Bruce Rossman (sp?) died riding out to Sturgis with friends. He owned a number of H-D dealerships in Florida, including the biggest one on the east coast in Daytona on I-95.
He was with a group of 5 on their way to Sturgis and were passing a pickup truck pulling a horse trailer. He was riding tail. As he started around the pickup, it turned left on him. News said he wasn't wearing a helmet. The pickup driver stated he had his left turn signal on when the accident happened.

Ride like you are invisible!

I guess he died while loving life. I can only hope I die doing something I love rather than getting capped in a liquer store or something of the like.

I hope I don't die passing a cage with its left turn signal on. That's senseless in my opinion.

Perhaps the driver wasn't telling the truth. Then it's only passing a cage across an upcoming intersection. Still senseless.
