Your Massachusetts Motorcycle Association extends its sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Joe Proia. This past Sunday, Joe was doing what he loved most, riding his motorcycle, when he experienced a medical event resulting in this being his final ride.

Dedicated and passionate about Motorcycle Safety, Joe retired from Rider Education after a bout with illness and dedicated his final years to riding, operating riding tours of Europe, and his family.
