    Steve that was aXR500 motor for one of the Nicholsons, the head melted. I will get some pics later but there was a Hall front end with CR125 USD forks, and the forks exploded from the internal pressure. Its amazing the damage fire can do, and if it didnt burn(like clothing) it still has smoke and water damage and it may no be able to be saved. Pictures bhooks hot wheels cars and other collectables all damged by water, or just the high humidity from everything else being wet. I have a new look on this type of event, thats for sure.

    As if the heartbreak of losing a pet and property isn't enough to deal with, throw in the looters that come in to "kick someone when they're down". That just makes me sick. My condolences for your loss, Vealmonkey.

    A life is irreplaceable, though these rare items may not seem replaceable, they are. The trikes, they come and go, the house where you built your life is now being town down and nearly everything gone. I couldn't imagine such thing happening to me. Best wishes to you and your family, it may not be much coming from a stranger but all of us feel the same way here at 3ww, we all care.

    Maybe we could do some sort of fundraiser here.

    Well, I wasn't supposed to. but I called him - left a message. It went to voice mail which is entirely understandable and it was just me as a person wanting to talk to him. I am who I am and my kittys I would trade for the whole shop. I feel terrible for him.....

    He will get through it but all I posted is a fact. Thanks Bruce for being there!!

    Honestly, if I can travel down myself or with Fabiodriven, we would be glad to help. Had we known sooner, we would be on the way. Bruce got me out of the woods (never knew the connection) but I know Pat was a great friend.

    PLEASE, stick together guys. If you can help, then do so. He didn't have to lose a close family member but in actuality, he did. He lost his best friend, his cat. Maybe some of you cannot absorb that but we love what we love...............

    We can head right down tomorrow if it helps, PLEASE let me know bofore the house is torn down which is what I assume is going to happen.
    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country
