Helping Albert Out

Over the years many riders have been helped out by Albert Moore and now there’s a chance to return the favor. Albert’s Chrome is widely recognized and has been highly regarded in the custom bike industry for many years. But Albert the man is held in even higher esteem than his products. Albert is the kind of guy that you know where you stand with him. If he likes you you’ll know it and if he doesn’t he’ll let you know that too. If he likes you he’d give the shirt off his back. He’s helped out so many people over the years.

Lately life has chosen to kick Albert in the gut and keeps on kicking him while he’s down. Over the years he had built his plating business and shop into a thriving operation that had employed a couple extra people. That business was virtually destroyed by a flash flood a few years ago. Through hard work and determination Albert got the plating part of it back up and running.

Then the next cruel blow landed. His beloved wife and soulmate Traci was tragically killed in an ATV accident. He was so devastated by the loss that his friends kept a close eye on him. It had only been recently that he had started to enjoy some parts of his life again, to get out and do what he’d loved doing before.

Maybe it was the accumulation of years of hard work, hard living and tragic events that led to his having heart problems earlier this year. For the most part he’s been unable to work or at best on a very limited basis. Being self employed he doesn’t have nearly enough insurance so the bills have ben mounting up.

It’s with this background and the way Albert’s been a friend that we’d like to help. Some folks have put together a bike raffle to help him out. You get two chances to win a motorcycle. One chance in the morning to win an 883 Iron  and one chance in the afternoon for a Dyna Fatbob. There will be a benefit party on April 11, 2010. Knowing Albert he’ll be upset by all of this, but old friend you’re worth it. Here’s an address to buy tickets through PayPal.
