Even though he was a dealer of Harleys, we won't hold that against him. He's well known in Florida, if not the nation, as a great guy with a big heart.
A good biker friend of mine (who died earlier this year) worked for Bruce Rossmeyer, and by all accounts, he was a heck of a guy and a giant of a human being. He just couldn't seem to give enough to charities and the community. We were having a little fundraiser and had asked him for some small thing or other that we could give out as a prize at a get-together, and he gave us something like $1,000 worth of gift certificates! He was always willing to help someone in need.
He will be missed.
Indeed, i was interfviewing to work for him not long ago. a true hell of a guy i must admit :icon_confused: :cry:

That sucks......
He was a friendly "Welcome to Florida" reminder to anyone who road-trips I-95 regularly.
R.I.P Bruce.
He was the guy on all of the Harley/Geico commercials down here right? Seemed nice enough when stopping by the dealer to see the HD merch. was hoping for a good pair of gloves but no armor so :dunno_white:

Wow I read the article you posted he sounded like one heck of a guy. I am wondering had he been wearing a helmet if he would have survived? The guy was defiantly an experienced rider. It sounds like from the description of the accident it was just a freak accident that shouldn't have happend.
RIP Mr. Rossmeyer
sometimes helmets dont work. or impact is/was too severe. BUT that aside. mr rossmeyer, even if you bought nothing from him, youd leave happy. hell if what he was selling wasnt for you, ( aka youd get killed on it) hed point ya to soemthign else. ( even if metric or non hd), rest in peace bruce, you are rding with the big man now :bowdown:
meh who cares
