Law Abiding Biker Store-Devastating Fire
On December 18, 2017, at around 3:30 PM the Law Abiding Biker Store storage garage burned to the ground. Every last bit of our store inventory burned in the fire. We are blessed that nobody was inside at the time. The garage was attached to Big Daddy Kane's, who runs the store, house. His house was a total loss too.
We are a bootstrap company and did not have special insurance. Big Daddy Kane's house will be covered by his homeowner's insurance. However, that insurance will cover nothing of our total loss of store inventory.
When it rains it pours and the timing of this fire could not have been worse. We are in the middle of building a new Law Abiding Biker Shop and Studio. We do have a fundraiser for that and you can support that cause here.
This is a devastating blow to Law Abiding Biker Media. After the blood, sweat, and tears we've put in over the last 4 years, we have no plans on giving up. We are fighters and believers in the awesome Law Abiding Biker community. Our mission is to continue to help as many bikers as we can worldwide.
We have every intention of slowly rebuilding and adding products to the Law Abiding Biker Store, so please support us by shopping there.
Ways to help us recover:
- SHOP IN OUR OFFICIAL STORE HERE
- BECOME A PATRON MEMBER-GET BENEFITS
- BUY AWESOME MOTORCYCLE TUTORIAL VIDEOS
- LEAVE A FLAT DONATION
- SUPPORT OUR FUNDRAISER TO CONTINUE OUR SHOP/STUDIO BUILD
- RICK BIG DADDY KANE LOST HIS HOUSE/PERSONAL FUNDRAISER
Thanks for considering supporting us. We would not be where we are today without the support of this awesome community of bikers.

Ryan,
Never let a bad situation bring out the worst in you. Choose to stay positive and be the strong person that God created you to be. Always remember, Strong walls shake but never collapse.
Definitely not Thomas. Been through many things. One foot in front of the other. Worked 4 years, 7 days a week, 16 hour days, two jobs to get this and keep it going. Not giving up now.
Hi so sad to see this but happy for no lost of life i’ts gonna be a hard time but i am sure you be back.Best Regards Robert
Thanks Robert. Our store is partially back up with limited items. It will take time. ==> https://shop.lawabidingbiker.com
Had my wife ready to order a phone gripper for Christmas for me but had her stop when I received the email of the fire. So my question is , are you open for business to place orders? I live in northern Illinois so my bike is currently in storage so I don’t require next day shipment. Please let me know
Thanks
Paul
A little crazy Paul. Trying to get our feet under. We lost 100% of our inventory. Store is back up. Will take time to slowly get things back in stock over time. Hope you understand. Store here ==> https://shop.lawabidingbiker.com
Just Donated $25 toward the cause, really enjoyed the vid on the Canada Road Trip. Very Sorry for the store gave to BDK’s gofundme as well Right at Christmas just awful. I have two HD’s myself and I would be gutted to lose Ole Blue (’04 Heritage) and the HighwayMan (’07 Ultra Classic). Best Wishes to all for a speedy recovery…
Thanks for the shout out and your support Tim!
Hello Rayn when I first saw the video when you were headed over there you were so distraught that all you seem to talk about was the store however I have been through something like this and the shock can get to you. I was more worried about your friend where they were going to go did they have clothes items to get by were there children involved what did they need all those questions I had running in my mind don’t worry I know you guys will get it all back because that is who you guys are. Thank God everyone is alright every thing can and will be replace in the store and sometimes we work so hard that we forget what is really important and that is life itself.
Yah, that was a live at the moment video and we could not express everything. That was LIVE and a thousand things in my head………as I/we were processing everything. We all knew internally that Rick was okay and we’d take care of him no problem. But hard to relate everything on a short live video. Thanks for your support
Ryan, I just wanted to let you know as you responded to me not long ago after I made a purchase from your store,Ciro 3D bag blades, I have advised all my fellow LEO’s back up in NYC and here in Florida about what just happened, we will make sure all parts orders are ordered through you. This will pass.
Dang Andy. Just really gives me goosebumps. The community and bikers like you have been sooooo supportive of us. Thanks for that. The community is whey we do what we do. ~ Ryan
Thinking about you guys and Thankful you are all ok. If you need anything don’t hesitate to call.
Thanks for your support Shane. Can’t wait to officially hear your information on our Podcast. Thanks for sponsoring our show and for supporting the Biker Revolution.
I am so glad that Big Daddy is ok and I know you will rebuild remember this is a minor set back you will rise out of the ashes and become better and stronger. I am a Leo for the past 35 yrs and glad to be part of this God speed.
Thanks Allen for the kind words. Fellow LEO. Be safe brother!
Just left a $10 donation to help with the cause. Hang in there guys, so sorry to hear about the fire. I really enjoyed the documentary on the Canada Trip. It was awesome.
