R.I.P. “Bo” Bodine

I was talking to Bill Bomberger yesterday after I dropped my bike off at New Castle Harley-Davidson. After our state of the industry talk he mentioned that he was bummed out because of the sudden passing last week of “Bo” Bodine. I was shocked because I hadn’t heard the news.

“Bo” was the first racer on the New Castles Race Team (which IronWorks partially sponsored) to reach the podium. He raced for Bill on 883s and Buells in AMA and NASB sanctioned races. He was a charismatic fun loving guy that both the fans and his fellow competitors liked being around plus he was well respected as a tough racer on the track. Brian “Bo” Bodine was 39 years old when he passed away. We’ll miss ya “Bo”.
