Our conversations with the late Dick Hamer continue. Don Emde and John Murphy join the Dealernews team and Dick moves on to Burroughs' Agency.
"He came to the West in 1973 and established his career in the Motorcycle Trade Publication Industry. From 1973 to 1985 he worked for Hester Communications and was publisher and sales manager for Motorcycle Dealer News, notes historian and co-worker Don Emde. "He then became marketing director for the International Motorcycle & Accessory Expos.
From 1985 to 1988 he worked for Burroughs & Associates, an Advertising and Public Relations firm, as Vice President and Accounts Management Supervisor. Dick was founder and director of the Pro Rider Benefit Fund, a philanthropic non-profit corporation providing financial assistance to seriously injured American professional motorcycle racers.
Godspeed Dick Hamer
