One of the oldest Royal Enfield dealers in the U.S., KRW cycles in Phillipsburg Ohio burns to the ground, taking with it many customer bikes, the dealer's personal vehicles, family pictures, spare parts and new bikes and the livelihoods of its owners and employees. No insurance.  My thoughts and prayers go out to our RE brothers and sisters in Ohio.  What a shame. http://www.royalenfields.com/2010/09/longtime-royal-enfield-dealership-krw.html

    OH NO!!! This is horrible. Words can not describe what they are going through. As for the allegations of arson... what a crock. They did that to me too when my first store burned down. . It is their standard M.O. because all business owners are low-life bottom feeders   
      My heart aches for them.

Like a guy with no insurance is going to torch his own building

I've never lost a business through fire, but my family has lost a home through fire and it is one of the worst things that can happen.  It's psychologically devastating to see everything that you've worked for go up in smoke right before your very eyes.  In the case of this dealership, their customers also have lost bikes and an important cog in their community.  If it was arson, it would have to be someone not connected to the business because without insurance there is no motive on the owner's part.

That is a real shame. Very sad.
As if things havn't been tough enough for businesses over the last while.

I heard about this last week.
    I hope the personal photographs can be replaced.

This is really sad for a family owned business!  My heart goes out to the Bapaille family.
