I am sad to report that Wednesday evening March 7, 2012 around 8.15 pm, Keith and Amber Brinton from Diamond Heads in Las Vegas were involved in an accident in Port-Orange (South Of Daytona Beach) while traveling together northbound on the same motorcycle on Ridgewood Avenue.
They were struck from behind by a Lincoln Expedition SUV operated by a South Daytona 64 old woman. Both Keith and Amber Brinton were thrown from the motorcycle. Amber was pronounced dead at the Halifax Health Hospital. Keith suffered head injuries and a broken collar bone. The crash remains under investigation by the Port Orange Police Department. My personal condolences to their daughter Jennifer Brinton and all the family.
Diamond Heads “The King Of Bling” was invented by Keith Brinton who holds 3 patents regarding “a proven motor heads cooling system that sparkles and shines for a lifetime.” Keith Brinton frequently comments and participates with you in discussions in this news website.

I want to personally thank all of you for the kind words and prayers. Amber and I have always enjoyed talking to and meeting with all of you. I will recover from my injures but recovering from losing my wife of 37 years and best freind feels unbearable at the present time, but it is much easier knowing so many of you care for us as we care for you all as well. May God bless all of you and thank you all for being in our lives. Thank-you again. Keith

I read about this accident last week in our Local paper here in Daytona. I didn’t realize that it was the owners of Diamond heads. So Sorry. Two and a half years ago, another Motorcycle Icon, Bruce Rossmeyer got killed in a car vs Motorcycle crash.
Ride on
Very Sorry…..My Condolences for the family…

The services for Amber Brinton will be held at Palm Mortuary, 7600 S. Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89123 on Saturday March 17, 2012 at 4:00 pm. I would like to thanks everyone for all the thoughts and condolences on behalf of our family.
i had the pleasure to meet them through Kirk at Sumax…so sad to hear when a driver does NOT see one of us ENJOYING our freedom!…A loss indeed!
Sometimes it is simply karma. Rossmeyer was not always the most hospitable of hosts and presented himself as harsh and unreasonable to others who were only trying to earn a pittance compared to his fortunes during bike weeks. A vendor (who had paid $$$$ to have a space at Destination Daytona had allowed a friend’s spectacular build to be parked on his little patch of ground in order to draw some attention to his wares. When the friend put a tiny for sale sign on that bike, Bruce came storming out himself to throw the guy and his bike off the property.) When a former employee of the Brintons did an occasional diamond cut for builder acquaintances in FL, far from Vegas, the Brintons sued her and ran her out of the country (to avoid them taking everything she had.) Certainly death may not be considered by us as a fitting punishment, but one should stop and think the next time one plans to treat another person badly all over a few bucks. We’ve been told that greed is a sin. ~~~ KARMA.
It saddens me to see anyone think my wifes death is somehow justified because I stopped Susan everingham from stealing from my family. I only hope karma does not deal that person what they deserve based on their ignorance. Just for the record that woman never worked for Diamond Heads she only said she did to help her feed off our good business name. Some people really should learn some facts before they start spouting ignorance. Some people have no morals and that explains statements like those made by another perspective. That being said I would like to thank all those that gave my family the kind words and prayers. We really appreciate being part of such a great group of people even if there is one idiot in that group.
Keith, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Keith , im truly sorry for for your loss ,Amber was like a ray of sunshine always smiling and will truley be missed , i pray that god helps you through these rough times and you have a speedy recovery , thoughts and prayers for you and your family, take care friend !! —— RIP AMBER
Keith, I’m so… sorry. I am lost for words. I just found out. I am here. If you need something please don’t hesitate. I’m still here in St Pete/Seminole. I still have some connections here. Like you said, people judge & open up their mouth before they know the facts! But Karma always takes it’s place. Unfortunately we don’t always get to see it. Death is usually because God has chosen that time for that person & not for any other reason!
WOW – this is indeed horrible news. Though I only dealt with Keith and Amber once, they were both genuine, and wonderful people to deal with. Amber, jokingly and I don’t know how she “remembered”, got to “know” me a little – because each year for 4 years – ironically (not known to me at the times) I got the bug to get my fins cut around the same time of year each year – so the last time I called her (and actually sent them) she shared something like “must be that time of year again to be thinking about this” – LOL. There are, in my opinion, many people who do the same thing they did, but none as good in quality as they did them. All life is precious – every biker down is sad – this one is very sad. Rest in Peace, Amber – and praying for a speedy recovery for Keith.
Keith our thoughts and prays go out to you and your family over your loss from everyone here at PowerSport Institute
