After he’d just lost everything in the nearby Almeda Fire, Scott Flick says helping one Phoenix, Oregon, business owner was the least he could do. Riding his bike, Flick watched the fire swallow D and S Harley, but when the flames started making their way toward Oregon Motorcycle Adventures KTM, Flick says he couldn’t just stand by. After breaking down the door, Flick got to work.

OMA-KTM owner Jeff Moffett said Flick was able to save nine bikes.

Though Flick lost most everything he owns, he’s keeping his spirits up.

“You gotta focus on the little good there is because that’s all there is,” he said. But “I miss riding motorcycles bad. I get choked up every time about my best friend burnt. You can almost see it from here.”
