SOHC Dan Rodriguez
« on: August 25, 2010, 01:15:57 PM »
Don't know if any of you sohc'ers have ever been to Wilville Motorcycle Camp ground here just off
the Blue Ridge Parkway but there is a memorial to a fellow sohc'er there.
Dan was killed a few years back whilst riding a friend's Harley (as I remember it).
I never met Dan but all who did said he was a great fellow and a good rider.

Pretty sad, but nice he is remembered.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

I think he wrecked up in NY. It was a freak wreck.

It figures he dies in NY and riding a Harley, that is deadly.

BTW, it would be nice if any SOHC 4 riders could make it to Wilville this coming weekend.
Their having some sort of Dan day or weekend and a bunch of SOHC4s would be a nice presence.
The family still has Dan's old Honda.
I may ride out myself.

Here's a link to Willville, scroll down and the Dan Rodriguez Rally is listed.
