Don Emde (born February 16, 1951, in San Diego, California[1]) is an American motorcycle racer, author and publisher.
[3] Emde's 1972 victory at Daytona as a privateer[4] was the first win at that race for a Yamaha, the smallest displacement racebike to take first place, the first victory for any two-stroke, and the first (and only) father-son win at Daytona (his father Floyd Emde won in 1948).
[5] Emde retired from racing in 1973 and became an author and magazine publisher.
[1] In May, 2014, Emde organized a recreation of Erwin "Cannonball" Baker's 1914 transcontinental motorcycle ride, on its 100th anniversary.
