Your complete resource for off-road motorcycling in Washington state. NewsAugust 10, 2010. A very good friend of the off-road industry and sport has passed away – Ron Morgenthaler Last night, Ron Morgenthaler passed away after a long battle with cancer. If you do not know Ron, you probably do not ride Off-Road Motorcycle in Washington State. If you do live in the Pacific NW and don’t know Ron, it is because he was not one to blow his own horn. The fact is, Ron dedicated a great deal of his life to protecting the opportunities of off-road motorcycling in the Pacific NW. My friend, Lori Taylor, said it best…. “He's had a rough go with his health the last 5 years or so. Things have turned for the worse recently… “Ron has been a pillar in the motorcycling community for many years. He is one of the original founders of the NMA, was a huge supporter of the ISDE, successful rider and competitor for many years, a former ORV E&E officer and so much more. He is also a very close friend of my dad & mom as well as Tom & me. This is going to be yet another big blow to my personal family and our extended dirt bike family.” The Cle Elum Ranger District’s modern Off-Road Vehicle Program was built by Ron Morgenthaler and John McHaffie. Ron loved the sport and wanted to protect riding areas through education and by working together with the user groups. Please keep his wife (together over 50 years….High School Sweethearts!), family and friends in your prayers. Ron LOVED our sport and spent much of his life protecting your right to ride. He is a rare breed…one who put his muscle and time into working on the trails and showing up when his sport needed him. Thank-you Ron. You are a true legend in the Pacific Northwest. - Mikki D and Lori Taylor " Upcoming Events - See the full event calendar here
