Major fire ruined all my stuff

I had been storing my lawn service, boats and motorcycles at a friend's place in the country. 2 months ago I bought the 5 acres. Granted, none of this stuff was new, but most of it is gone now. From what I heard the neighbor had a small camp fire the night before. Today it flared up and went across his property. The 9 back-to-back freezes already had the grass brown and dry. Losses:
2001 V-Star 1100
Silver Wing
Maxim 750
Turbo bike (parts)
3 other parts bikes [seven bikes burnt]
3 boat motors, car motors, my hot rod parts,
3 commercial mowers, van, firebird, lots of spare parts.

I'm calling my lawyer tomorrow, and take pictures of the mess.
At least 2 acres are scorched.

 

Agh! That really sucks, dude. Was the stuff insured?

 

that realy sucks

 

REALLY sorry to hear about that!!! I would think it would be neighbor's problem (ahhh, what the H@## do I know about insurance though )...

No insurance, but the neighbor has a policy, and it was his fire.
I'll know more soon.

 

wow.

just wow.

that is soo frustrating, I was wondering why you werent getting back with me on that titling stuff.

I see your seca 900, venture, and I think some 750s werent on the list.... but damn.

he needs to pay for your stuff.

 

Pete, that really sucks.

Good luck with your recovery efforts.

 

That's a real rough deal, Time, I don't envy you sorting the insurance nightmare, good luck, Wiz.

 

Ouch that blows... Here in NH You will only have coverage on the bikes or boats if insured individually in a garage. Other than that you are screwed. My policy states no coverage for registered vehicles not individually insured.

What B.S.

Good luck man..

That's some bad news TimetoRide. No one was injured so that's good to hear. Best of luck with the insurance.

 

Oh my goodness.. Good Luck TTR! At least no one was hurt!

Thats such bad news.
I was reading the post with my 16 yr old daughter and she
was as shocked as I was.
How do you recover from that much loss?
Man.... I wish there was something I could do to help or say
to get you through this.....Just do us a favor and post if we can
help in any way.
I'm sure everyone will do their best to help you get back on your
feet!

Ron and family

 

Thanks for all the support and kind words guys.
Talked to 2 attorneys. This goes against the neighbor's policy, the initial claim handled without an attorney. I have to list reasonable values for everything. I get replacement value for the 24 X 30 pole barn I built.
Pics later today.

 

thats hard putting reasonable values on these bikes, they may look at ones for sale and say, that ones only 500 bucks, when your bike is probably worth 2000 or so since its been gone through and so on and so forth

 

Dig up any reciepts you have for add-ons you put on those bikes and other stuff you did to them that raises the value of them.

 

Bummer dude!

 

Here's a shot of the V-Star 1100
The guy owns 10 properties, and has insurance.
Schooter's going to help me load larger pics. Thanks Schoot !

 

Trust me Time, its the LEAST I can do.


Beautiful 1982 Silver Wing






2001 V-Star cost about $3,000 and ran perfect.





The Maxim 750, melted rims.



Seca 750 rims, completely melted

 

one thing I've noticed in the pictures, look at all the burnt grass!
