Default Sometimes life sucks




Had a bad fire in my garage my sons LiPo battery exploded while on charge and burned my down. I wasn’t home my son and my 81 year old father in law were there, he heard and explosion got him out in time. Unfortunately all of my Harleys are completely gone 😭

Oh man, so sorry for your loss. Glad everyone is ok otherwise.

I can't tell much about the Heritage from the photo in the driveway, but that may be fixable.

That is scary. I am sorry you lost your bikes. But am happy that your house was not lost.
Hopefully you can bounce back from this.
