Default Lewis Custom Cycles

Some of you may have dealt with Ronnie Lewis of Lewis Custom Cycles and some of you may have not. But, last night, Ronnie lost his business to a fire. Unfortunately, he has no insurance. I've been dealing with Ronnie for about a year now and in the process, we because friends. If it wasn't for him, I couldn't have done half to my bike that I've done. He's really taken care of me. He also is not one to "ask" for help, but he needs it.

I don't care if this is right for me to do this or not...if it isn't, then just go on to the next thread. Ronnie needs help and his friends are trying to help him out. Please visit his website and see if there is anything you can do or offer...I know he would appreciate it.I only wish I could be there to help him!!

Thank you!
Tim

Sorry for his loss, but who in his right mind would not have insurance at a business?

Really will suck for whoever had bikes in his shop.

I've never put this out on the open forum but for a limited time i'll be donating the money
to "Ronnie's benefit" I do custom reflector replacements for 06' and up softail Tri Bar lights
and will be doing them for $10.00 each so if you hate the way that reflector look send me
a PM with your thoughts... below are some examples I've done other Night Train guys.
Think of it as a way of helping out and taking off that ugly reflector.

Wow...aren't we the smartass?

First of all, all the bikes were removed before the fire got to his shop.
Second, not "everybody" can afford insurance...ok? Think about what you say before you open your mouth.

You don't want to donate, fine...then move on to the next thread.

Thanks,
Tim

Considering that you have no idea what Ronnie's situation is perhaps you can keep your **** to yourself and like T_Rob said, move on.
