It is with heavy heart and tears in my eye's to announce that we lost Mike Burkey today. He was out riding but other than that I have no more details. Many in the SW area have met him. He was a plank owner in the resurrection of SWCOG as the AAD for Utah. An instrumental member for the planning of UT events including the 1st Red Rock and Rally where he coined the term Burkeying a tire, many day rides and Concours in the Corners National rally. He was a trusted friend and confidant that I would ride with any day of the week. He is survived by a loving wife, son and daughter. I will miss him. I will post appropriate details as they become available. God Speed Mike. Scope me some roads up there.
