Please join us as we remember one of the greatest young men our industry and motorcycle family has had the pleasure of knowing these many years. Ross Tomas, son of Kiwi Mike and Carolyn Tomas of Kiwi Indian Motorcycles was taken from us in a motorcycle accident on July 22nd and in his memory we are asking friends and family to gather on Monday, August 4, 2014 at Hot Rod Lake behind the Broken Spoke Campground at 5pm for a memorial service by our Lakota brothers with the magnificent Bear Butte Mountain in the background. Immediately following will be a small reception at the Broken Spoke. Please come ready to share your stories of Ross and to give love to his parents as they go through this very difficult time.
Ross was an amazing young man known for making people laugh & always fun to be around; his smile and laughter were contagious and he was a friend to all around the world who met him. He truly lived life to fullest and was so blessed to be able to travel the country with his parents seeing sites many only dream about, meeting celebrities, musicians & and being a part of this wonderful motorcycle family. He had so many amazing opportunities at his doorstep with his future at his fingertips. It is such bittersweet irony that he should die on a motorcycle when his life had been surrounded by them; Ross loved motorcycles, set records on them and rode them his entire life. He truly lived a lifetime in his short 20 years with us. Keep his memories in your heart and he will be with you forever.
Sturgis had become Ross’s second home and a place he truly loved. While in Sturgis Ross could often be found at The Broken Spoke with his motorcycle family creating memories with many. The Tomas family has asked that in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum in the Ross’s name.
“You live more in five minutes flat-out on a bike like this than most people do in a lifetime.”

Ross really did…
