Maryland Fire Fighter Wins The Spirit

March 13, 2008 – A member of Prince George’s County, MD Local 1619 is the winner of The Spirit, a customized Harley Davidson Road King motorcycle. The bike raffle drawing was held March 11 during the 2008 Alfred K. Whitehead Legislative Conference Washington, DC. Raffle ticket sales benefit the IAFF Burn Foundation.

“This is a great surprise,” says Kevin Reilly, a Harley owner since 1993. “I bought my last Harley Davidson when the fire fighter edition was introduced in 2002. I almost bought another one last weekend, but it’s a good thing I didn’t!”

The Spirit is a customized motorcycle built by Lynn Jones and Lynnco Custom Cycles – makers of The Peacemaker custom-designed motorcycle dedicated to the memory of the late Mattie Stepanek and The Bravest custom-designed motorcycle dedicated to all IAFF fire fighters.

It is one-of-a-kind with custom paint (by Chris Cruz) and includes an image of a fire fighter and the IAFF logo.
