Spoke to a buddy of mine who works at Rossmeyers and apparently traveling from colorado into wyoming he was passing an RV when the RV swerved into his lane and knocked him off the bike.They were riding in a large group and Rossmeyer's bike supposedly was the last one.

Spoke with a buddy who works at his dealership and he said the same thing.

I worked at his MS dealership in Horn Lake for a while as a Rider's Edge instructor. While I did not know him well, his reputation for donations to kids organizations preceeded him. May his family find peace, he was a good man

I just bought a used 2007 Street Bob from his store in Fort Lauderdale - everyone is really nice there and they gave me a really great deal. I almost dropped it off for some upgrades but ran out of time so I will take it in tomorrow. I'm glad I heard about this before going in. My prayers go out to his family and employees in this time of loss.

I wasn't a big fan of the man's prices, or his sales staff who hounds you like a used car salesman, but I did like getting drunk with topless chicks at his empire during Bike Week.
