Motorcycle Salvage Yard destroyed in AZ

I am sure many of you Arizonians know of the motorcycle salvage yard (All Bike Sales) North of Mesa, South of Payson in Rye on Hwy 87.

Apparently it's now a total loss, and though I have never heard anyone speak good things about the people who run the place, hate to see that happen. My brother lives nearby in Gisela.

You can't really call that place a "salvage yard". The man must have had thoudands of bikes out there... mostly complete ones at that. Had it set up just like a business until you walked in and asked for something. Never heard him say (or heard of him saying) anything other than "not for sale". Wouldn't sell bikes, wouldn't sell parts, wouldn't sell ANYTHING... but still put on the face of a "business". Tragic for sure because the old man lost everything, but he's the only one that lost it because it wasn't available to anyone else. Guess its a case of whatever floats your boat, but if you're going to refuse to sell anything and get angry when people have the nerv to even ask, then don't put up signs and facilities and make it look like a "business".

EDIT: just because he was a jerk doesn't mean I rejoyce in this... or the 5 houses lost. Very sad.
