yes so will i but the next paint job will be a custom phenoix theme

 

I have never thought to ask a shop if they had insurance, something you just sort of expect. Total bummer that you lost your bike but maybe you can revamp your business plan to include a service shop. If the guy is a good mechanic he could be a real asset and draw more customers to your store. He's gonna need a place to get another start.

 

bad news!!!!! sorry to here this, I agree you need to open a paypal.

 

I gotta say you're holding it together better than I would....if a bike of mine was destroyed under the same circumstances, and I was deprived of a season's riding (and out cost of replacement), it wouldn't be pretty.

 

Thats sucks dude. For you and the indy. I hate to see this **** happen to good ole bikers.

Did he indicate at all over the phone what he intends to do? Or did he just say everybody including him is screwed?

I wouldnt think to ask about insurance either but now I have to wonder what would happen if this happened at my indy. He works out of his 2 car garage behind his house. I am fully covered but not sure if his HO policy would cover the bikes in a fire. He has at least 5 bikes in there at all times.

Wouldnt take but a very small donation from each of us to get you riding again if several chipped in . Thats a tuff way to loose your bike ,, especially one you've put so much heart into.

Keep us updated.

 

One more thing Dennis , when you first Look at it It's Gunna Look Bad , But once you clean-Um up there is still a Motorcycle there , Good Luck Bro

 

its more the fact that me and my kids basicly built tha tbike and it was supposed to be my sons when he is old enough. yes i am very pissed, even more so then when i found out my ex-wife was turnign tricks to pay for crack while i was working. but above it all i am more saddend knowing my kids will miss out on the bike more then me. oh well e'll see what comes of it

 

Sorry Guy,

You will ride again......it will happen
Bought a '65 Pan in 1970.....rode it until it was stolen in 1989....I know how you are feeling, and you will bounce back.

 

Sry to hear that about your bike,,,But If she can be resurrected,,The phoenix will be it, ,,,,,I can help you out,,,as soon as you set up a paypal,,,,

 

Well...... someday your son will be riding the bike you and he built, and it will make it all the more special....he won't forget it, EVER. It's obvious you've got your head screwed on right, and this will, one day, merely be a family story of a temporary setback. My old man has been gone 35 years, and not a day goes by that I don't remember his kindness and decency.
