It is with great regret that we report the passing of Barry Boone, the voice of American motorcycle racing for many fans.
Boone’s legendary voice is deeply associated with American Flat Track and his “Talking Motorcycles with Barry Boone” radio show, and he was a longtime fan of motorcycles and motorcycle racing.
Boone passed away yesterday, at the age of 62-years-old. He is survived by the love of his life Colette, sister Sharon Rone, brother-in-law Jack Rone, and his legion of motorcycle fans. His presence and his voice will be deeply missed from motorcycling.
“Barry was a true friend, both on and off the track,” said Scottie Deubler in a press release. Deubler served as Boone’s co-anchor at more than 100 American Flat Track events over the last decade.
“On the stage, he did such a wonderful job of making people feel comfortable even though they were in front of thousands of fans. Behind the scenes, he enjoyed life so much and was always so much fun to work with. We’re going to miss him.”
