Rod Ames gets help from Battalion Chief Coby Farnham to move his Harley-Davidson away from his smoldering home Thursday after Lacey firefighters knocked down flames at the home at 75th Avenue and Chinook Street on Johnson Point.

Ames cleared the land and helped build his home in 1973. “God has blessed me and my life a lot more than other people. So this is just 'oh well,' ” Ames said. “It's been a wonderful home.”

She made it. She made a makeshift shelter for herself under yards of leather and managed to save the beer.

Did you read the message on the back of the trailer. By extension, maybe the guy would have saved more of the wife's crap if he, well, uh, never mind.

If I was him I would have just kept the Husky and let her keep the rest. :)

I would love to have a Husky or KTM over here in Thailand but no luck. :(

My first thought was I don't know who Harley is, but what about the Senate?

Looks a bit like it has had an S&S motor upgrade.
