NOTICE: The owner of this website and GTMotoCycles.com completely lost his home on the morning of January 8th in the L.A. Wildfire Storm. Most of his neighborhood is gone, and a few friends were killed along with their pets. The GTM SHOP and STORE are functioning normally, but we DEMAND EXTREME PATIENCE on orders as we are a SMALL business and Todd usually has his hands on nearly every order before it goes out. You can find more info on a post named L.A. Wildfires in the USA section. Our heart and best go out to everyone effected in this horrific disaster.

Insurance doesn't cover all the expenses of what your going to go through to get back on your feet.
I would like to contribute to your recovery so I'm thinking the best/fastest way to do this is by donating thru this site??
I, too, am curious about the best way to offer financial assistance. Would it be through the site, or through, for example, GoFundMe? I have no experience with it and would have to defer to others' expertise to think it through and make it happen We all owe Todd, yes? I owe him big time.
Guys, as reality is slowing coming into focus for me mentally, I am at a loss to extend my words and struggles here. My sister has started a donation page for me, which I started a new thread on linked below. I am crushed at what I am witnessing, and I likely won't be able to get back into the area for another few weeks.
If you feel the desire, you can certainly donate via the link above, by promoting your username/profile here, or purchase product(s) on the (GTM) STORE linked above. Donations via my GoFundMe will in large go to wildlife and mammal rescue in my area.
I'm also requesting your EXTREME patience related to help here and orders. I will do my best but literally everything in my personal life is in ashes.
This is a tough one for me. Through all I have endured over the years, this one has hit me the hardest. On Tuesday evening the 7th, my home (as one of most in my neighborhood) burned to the ground. Only ashes are left. While I was insured, it was massively underinsured as we faced cancellation if not, like many others did, and many had none after just days into the New Year cancellation sweep.
The scale and speed of the Palisades Fire is inconceivable. It is larger than all of Manhattan to my East Coast friends. Then there’s the Eaton/Altadena fire which was equally as devastating. I have...
