I knew about Verle, only through a mutual friend, Billy Aller. I understand that Verle owned 4 Stroms before his passing.
DELTA COUNTY - A motorcycle crash Saturday claimed the life of Cedaredge resident Verle L. Nelson, 72.
Nelson was northbound on Trap Club Road on his 2010 Yamaha, when he attempted to pass another motorcycle while coming around a curve at a high rate of speed, the Colorado State Patrol reports.
Nelson lost control, went off the road, and his bike twice launched into the air, 20 feet the first time, and, after touching down on its wheels, again for 40 feet, after which it rolled and threw Nelson off.
He was rushed to Delta County Memorial Hospital, but could not be saved, and was there pronounced dead.
Verle documented his rides and explorations in outstanding fashion. I felt it very appropriate to honor Verle in this Regional Thread, as most of his rides are in the Colorado and Utah areas. You must check out his website.....
