 1000 BIKERS NEEDED TO HELP LEWIS CUSTOM CYCLES RELOCATE
As some of you already know & for those that are not aware, Lewis Custom Cycles in Hyden, KY was destroyed by fire on March 9, 2008. Since then we have struggled to keep our business alive by operating from a temporary location that we were barely able to save that is located next to where our shop was. Thanks to many great customers we have been able to survive & grow! Now the time has come to get out of this very small location & move into a new building that is also located in this area. We had wanted to rebuild, but relocating will serve both us & our customers better.
We have a plan to enable us to purchase this new building, which will be a better location to serve our customers locally, within the USA & throughout the world. Our business has grown tremendously & we ship parts & accessories all over the United States & also to several other countries. Instead of borrowing money to purchase this new building, we thought we would try a different route. So we are asking that at least 1000 bikers help us make this much needed move possible. Previously, we had asked for donations, but that didn’t work. We totally understand that the economy is rough & it’s hard to throw out money & not get anything back. So we are moving to “Plan B” to where we are asking for at least 1000 bikers contribute $100 each. This will generate the 100K we need to purchase the new building. When these bikers contribute the $100 their name, shipping address, phone number & email address will be put on a special list that will be maintained in top order. Since we are well-known to give our customers the best discount prices we can possibly give, which is basically 15% off retail prices, we are going to give these contributors an additional 10% off the retail prices on all aftermarket parts & accessories, which brings it to a total of 25% off retail & we are also offering free shipping within the lower 48 states. So what it boils down to, you contribute $100 & you will get it back as an additional discount on your purchases. This will make you eligible to buy up to $1,000. worth of parts for $750. plus free shipping, in which you are not required to purchase the full amount in one order. With the Christmas season getting near, we will extend this offer until Dec. 31, 2008. So you will have over 3 months to cash in on this great offer. We assure you that this is NOT some sort of scam or hoax. This is a “bikers helping bikers” deal & we are a “straight-up” company that maintains 100% positive feedback on eBay & also has several customers all over the world that you can contact to see how honest we are & also give our customers the best customer service possible. That is something we thrive for here at Lewis Custom Cycles, we give our customers a personal type of service that most companies have long forgotten about.
Our attorney, who is the owner of this building & also a biker himself, is more than willing to give us time to come up with the money to purchase the new home of Lewis Custom Cycles. We have been in business for 6 years & we are determined to be around many, many more years to serve our customers with the best discount prices & customer service possible. We carry a full line of aftermarket parts & accessories for Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Victory & Yamaha motorcycles. You can visit our website, www.lewiscustomcycles.com & click on the “distributor links” button to direct you to our links page with over 80 companies we are a dealer for. You can pick out what you need & get back to us with part numbers for discount price quotes, plus your extra $100 discount. Keep in mind that you are eligible to purchase $1000 worth of parts at the retail prices for $750. Also, as a contributor, your name will be posted on a 4’ X 8’ board that will be displayed in the shop. On our website under the “news” category you can click on this link that will show you photos & more pertaining to the devastating disaster that happened to us on March 9, 2008.
Due to low profit margins, we must exempt engines, transmissions, frames, wide tire kits, wheels & OEM (Harley, Honda, etc. brands) parts & accessories from this offer, but if items such as these are what you are needing, we will be more than willing to work with you on the prices. Our honest intention is to give you back the $100 you contribute & we promise to do so. We sincerely hope that at least 1000 bikers will be willing to help us relocate to the new building. You will not, by no means, be cheated, scammed or ever forgotten!
Thank you for your time & if you wish to contribute to this much needed cause, your contribution will be GREATLY appreciated!!

Zugegeben: Beim Anblick der auf den Hochglanzseiten der einschlägigen Szene-Magazine abgebildeten Highend – Custombikes klappt einem gelegentlich schon mal die Kinnlade runter. Chrom und Billet im Überfluß, spektakuläre Felgendesigns mit Reifenbreiten die Jennifer Lopez’ Arsch im direkten Vergleich wie den Hintern einer Magersüchtigen aussehen lassen, Motoren deren Kubikinches dem Antrieb eines Lear-Jets gereichen würden und Paint-Jobs, deren Klarlackschichten schon den Gegenwert eines mittleren Kleinwagens kosten. Wohin man schaut: Superlative! Gleiches gilt natürlich auch für die Preisregionen, in denen sich diese Billet-Schönheiten bewegen: Sechsstellige Euro-Beträge sind da inzwischen keine Seltenheit mehr… High-Tech, High-End, High-Price. Aber gerade in den letzten Jahren hat sich – vielleicht gerade wegen dieser inflationären Superlativ-Entwicklung – langsam aber stetig ein Gegentrend herauskristallisiert: Back to the Roots! Die Suche nach einfachen, bezahlbaren Lösungen und den inzwischen leider oft verlorengegangen Wurzeln der Biker-Kultur. Chopper und Bobber, die authentisch den alten „Spirit“ verkörpern. Wen wundert’s, dass diese Bikes eher in den Hinterhöfen und Kleinstwerkstätten von Bikern der alten Schule entstehen? Erbaut mit Enthusiasmus und Liebe von Schraubern, die sich ihrer ölverschmierten Hände nicht schämen, die nicht über High-Tech-Maschinenparks verfügen und oft genug ihren Job auch mal nur für ‚ne Kiste Bier und aus Spaß an ihrer Arbeit verrichten. Nicht selten entstehen auf diese Art außergewöhnliche Bikes und werden neue Ideen und Konzepte erschaffen, die sich den alten Traditionen verpflichtet fühlen und zur Ehre gereichen. Diesen Schraubern und ihren Kreationen soll unser Online Magazin ein Podium sein!

833! muss sich von ein paar Membern verabschieden. Wie das bei Soldaten nun mal so ist, befinden sie sich in einem Umlauf, der irgendwann einmal zu Ende geht, d.h. neues Land, neue Stationierung. Dieses Jahr mussten wir schon drei Mal Abschied nehmen.
Erst gingen Steffi und Sean, dann Lee und jetzt Sabine und Tim. Es ist wie es ist, denoch lassen wir niemanden ohne eine richtige Abschiedsparty und diese fand letztes Wochenende am 09.08.08 statt. Mit einem lachenden und einem weinenden Auge wurde gefeiert, bis man uns rauswarf. Wir werden euch vermissen und warten auf ein Wiedersehen!! Alle Bilder gibt es hier: Good Bye Stammtisch August 2008 
833! has to say good bye again to some members. Like it is with soldiers, they only stay for a certain time in a country, then they have to go where their country wants them to go. This year we had to say good bye three times. First Steffi and Sean left us, then Lee had to go and now Sabine and Tim. Again, we have to take it like it is, but no ones leaves without a big party which we had last weekend at 08/09/08. With some tears in our eyes we partied till we got kicked out. We will miss you and are waiting for a come back!! All pictures you can find here: Good Bye Stammtisch August 2008  All pictures by 833!

Was für ein Monat. 833! dominiert die Szene-Magazine mit gleich 4 Veröffentlichungen. Zuerst ging's los mit Tim's "El Simio" im US "Hot Bike Magazine". Dann legte Deven mit seinem "Devenkiller-Umbau" in der aktuellen Ausgabe des deutschen "Custombike" Magazins nach.
In der gleichen Ausgabe entdecken wir Stefan "Harleygraf" sein neuestes Bike, die "Hellfire". Zu guter letzt glotzen uns noch die Fratzen von Eazy, Harleygraf und Chris auf der vorletzten Seite an, die neuerdings die Szene mit einer eigenen Kolumne beglücken dürfen.......neben ihrem eigenen "The Daily Chain" Online-Magazin.
What a month. 833! rules the magazines with 4 publishings. First, Tim started with a report about his "El Simio" bike in the US "Hot Bike Magazine".
Then Deven followed with his new "Devenkiller" bike in the german "Custombike" magazine. In the same issue we could also see Harleygraf with his latest bike, the "Hellfire".
Last but not least, Eazy, Harleygraf and the Ratministrator Chris started with their own column, also in the "Custombike" magazine........besides their own online-magazine "The Daily Chain".
833! Rulez!!  Tim with his "El Simio" in the US "Hot Bike Magazine"
