Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice
San Diego Union-Tribune, The (CA) -
Sunday, September 21, 2003
Deceased Name: David Emde won several
motorcycle-racing contests
He grew up in a motorcycle-racing family, aspiring
to take his place alongside his father and an older brother at the sport's
highest level.
A crash and engine troubles thwarted his two attempts to become
the third Emde to win the Daytona 200, perhaps the most prestigious motorcycle
race in America.
But David Emde became a national champion in his own
right.
In 1977, he won the American Motorcyclist Association 250cc road-racing
title, the crowning achievement in a racing career that spanned more than two
decades.
Mr. Emde was doing what he liked best -- riding a motorcycle -- when
he died Sunday in a non-racing accident in Ramona.
Out for a morning ride with
friends, he was killed when his motorcycle ran off the side of a road, falling
about 40 feet into a ravine, his brother Don said. Mr. Emde was
45.
"Motorcycling was kind of David's whole life," his brother said. "The bug
caught him at an early age and took him right to the end. It was his hobby, his
profession, his passion."
Mr. Emde lived in Escondido and worked on motorcycles
at Escondido Cycle Center.
Late in his racing career, he began coaching
aspiring competitors at DP Motorcycle riding schools throughout Southern
California. He also served as a demonstration rider for BMW Motorcycle Co. at
motorcycle shows and did motorcycle camera work in videos and documentaries.
In
the movie "Take It to the Limit," released in 2000, he appeared on a motorcycle
in the opening scene, his brother said.
The son of motorcycle legend Floyd
Emde, Mr. Emde was born in National City. He grew up in Bonita and attended
Bonita Vista High School.
He began riding motorcycles before he was 10 and
competed in dirt track races as early as 14, Don Emde said.
In 1972, Don Emde
won the Daytona 200, 24 years after his father accomplished the feat. It marked
the first time a father and son had won the race.
Although bad luck dogged Mr.
Emde in his bid to become the third member of his family to win at Daytona, he
went on to excel in endurance racing and superbike competitions after graduating
from the 250cc category.
In 1979, starting in the 63rd position, he finished
third in the Daytona Superbike 100. He combined with a partner in winning a
six-hour endurance race at Ontario Motor Speedway and won 17 of 24 races of a
20-lap series sanctioned by the American Federation of Motorcyclists.
In Japan,
he and a partner finished second in the 1978 Suzuka 8-hour endurance race after
posting the fastest qualifying time.
Mr. Emde's father, Floyd Emde, who died
Dec. 31, 1994, began his professional racing career in the early 1940s. In
winning the 1948 Daytona 200, he defeated a field of 152 starters that included
five former winners.
Mr. Emde is survived by a son, Brian Emde of Phoenix,
Ariz; his mother, Florence Emde of Escondido; sisters, JoAnn Emde of Escondido
and Nancy Emde-Steward of Cardiff; and brothers, Bob Emde of Ramona and Don Emde
of Laguna Niguel.
Services are scheduled for noon Tuesday at Glen Abbey
Memorial Park & Mortuary, 3838 Bonita Road, Bonita. Donations are suggested to
the Brian Floyd Emde Scholarship Fund, in care of Escondido Cycle Center, 1415
Montiel Road, Escondido, CA 92028.
