I am all for helping out, especially someone like Henry, but does he not have insurance to cover his home and personal belongings incase of a fire?

I'm pretty sure I read that he has insurance that will go towards the home, its replacing all the years of mx memories people are trying to help him recover.

People can't replace or recover his memories. Those will always be in his head.

i'm sure that doug has insurance,he seems to be an intelligent man,but it takes along time to get that settlement check. so i'm sure they need lots of stuff in the meantime. a fire is a devastating thing to go through,you don't even have the bare essentials of life afterwards. things we take for granted like a toothbrush for example,would be a great luxury for them right now.

I was an aduster for 10 years and now am working for a fire/water restoration contractor for the past 10 years. If Doug needs any advice or guidance with his claim he can contact me and I'd be happy to help. Public adjusters and attorneys are only going to take money that would go towards rebuilding of that house, it ain't a home if you can only put back 2/3'rds of it.

Not even close! Triple the value? They will nickle and dime him to death! They will even ask him how many friken socks he thinks he has, no joke! My house burned down in the fires here in So. Cal and that's what the stupid insurance companies do. They are idiots, and they don't even come close to giving you what your house is worth!!

Not sarcasm at all!

It is totally true.

They ask you how many socks you might have, how many tshirts, how many pants. It takes hours! I got so fed up with them! I wanted to walk out, but my wife settled me down. The whole thing with the insurance companies was a nightmare. The fire was bad enough, ,but dealing with these fools was even worse!

Not you downandup, Bobby M was being sarcastic. Very sarcastic. And good possibility that Henry's insurance would just pay out the limits of the policy, after all it's all gone. No doubt they'll try to dryfuck him in the meantime. Stall, stall, stall, and then they'll try and hold back ten percent until he rebuilds. Doug and his family deserve good things though and as soon as some of my Ebay crap sells and my Paypal account (which is beyond empty!!) fills back up I'll be sending something there way. Just needing Doug to autograph my Fox poster, that's all I want in return.

The guy meant that Bobby was being sarcastic. That is just the way he rolls...which is quite hilarious humor...at times.

Hours? Really?

That sounds like a horrible inconvenience........

Of course they ask you how much stuff you had. That's the purpose of insurance, to make you "whole" again. In order to do that you have to identify what was lost. A few hours seems pretty reasonable when you are talking potentially six figures of loss.

And I don't think there is any homeowners policy that is written for what a house is "worth". It's to rebuild the house. Obviously those two numbers could be very different.

Your homeowners policy states what they will pay to rebuild your home. Did you ever question the amount or tell them you thought the amount was too low? Most people simply want a low premium and forget what the whole purpose of the policy is.

The fact that he would tell you there are people much more in need than him, that he hasn't had it so rough, the his life has been a dream, the fact that you would never hear one word out of his mouth about anything negative in his own life.....shows what an asshole you are for making that post.

I honestly hope anyone with any Doug Henery Memorabilia send its to him.
I know its a big price to ask someone to give away something like that but I bet it would mean the world to him.

They've had way more than their fair share of unforseen personal tragedies than most families in such a short time span.



Skip the rider down and others personal tragedy threads if they're so bothersome to you then.

From what I read the MAIN thing that Doug announced was he would like to get some of the pics over the years of his family back??????????? not that big a deal. I hope some of the trophy companies can make some of his old one's again if its in there budget? most policies cover all of your contents and he will be fine i'm sure. I witnessed one friend whos home burned down and the adjuster was helping remind them of the things they had and what all peoiple have so they got the most money. He went through all the rubble piece by piece even gave more money then they thought they would get.

Paralyzed, breast cancer, lost all belongings. Doug will surely find something positive in this and trudge through life with that everlasting smile we have all grown so fond of!

Personally I think it's rather tasteless to ask if he had insurance or not. I don't know, don't care, and can only imagine what it'd be like to lose a house. It's about helping.

Anyway, apparently Troy Lee and a bunch of Doug's friends are getting together to help over the next couple of Thursdays. Check this out...



TLD Holiday Hours and Custom Paint Charity Event

Troy Lee Designs - Corona, CA

Come Join us this Thursday, December 9th, and next Thursday, December 16th, for our Holiday Hours and Custom Paint Charity Event. The Troy Lee Designs showroom hours will be extended from 5pm-9pm on these two days only. Troy Lee himself, along with TLD’s Jay Stemska, will be hand lettering helmets that are purchased during those hours while customers wait in the showroom. Proceeds from the event will go to Doug Henry and his family who recently lost their home to a fire.

Customer's will also be able to call in on those days and place a helmet order with free one color lettering with proceeds going to Doug Henry as well. These orders will be painted on a first come, first serve basis. Celebrity guests will be answering phone calls to take customer orders during the extended hours, 5pm-9pm. These guest will include Ricky Johnson, Travis Baker, Cole Seely, Christian Craig, Jeff Ward, and David Pingree.

Troy and Jay will only be lettering 25 helmets per night in the showroom on a first come, first serve basis. The lettering will be done in one color of the customer's choice for free with the purchase of a helmet during those hours. This event will take place in the TLD showroom located at 155 E. Rincon Street Corona, CA 92879. Come check out our Showroom/Museum, watch Troy work and support the Henry family!

"It has been cool to see such an outpouring of help from the motocross community. For Troy Lee, his staff, RJ, Wardy, and those guys to step up like this is just unbelievable; I can't thank them enough." - Doug Henry

Why is it tasteless to ask if he has insurance? Look...Doug is a class act, but if he is not in need of money, why set up a fund?

It is called being fiscally prudent... if more Americans were, we wouldn't be in these hard times.

I agree with ya 100% but I'm not into kickin' people when they are down, especially when I don't know the details. (not to imply you were)
On a different note, this might wake some poeple up to either make sure you have replacement cost ins, and also take "updated" pics of ALL your contents and keep it in a safety deposit box at your bank. All those trophys and jerseys??? Wow, that has got to be a monumental loss, not to mention helmets and bikes.
I know that I sit down with my ins guy every year and make sure everything is covered. I try to put each years pics on CD's and put them in the lock box at the bank. Some moto but mostly family.
Best of luck to The Henry Family.
