Everyone leave your messages of support for Stu in here...

His bike caught fire today...

:smt046

Sorry, I can't but laugh, he has such bad luck with bikes.

Stu is fine, managed to put the fire out and pushed his bike home.

[Bibio]

blazing saddles :-)

such a lovely bike too.

[Bluepete]

Oooops!

Fuel goes on the inside, not all over the bike!

Then again, flame jobs are quite cool?

Pete ;)

[andrewsmith]

Oh dear!

He is cursed, was it the Gixxer?
Flames should be coming out the exhaust only

[Spank86]

He was obviously riding too slow. Thunderaces bike would have caught fire by now if he didn't always ride so quick the flames blew out.

Didn't see this thread, will take pics and damage report later.

[andrewsmith]

Toasty ******** Stu?

[TheOnlyNemesis]

Was quite the scare to see flames licking up your fuel tank

[widepants]

so what did you do then.Did you panic and wave your arms about , or did you drop it and run like crazy .I remember once seeing a guy legging it down the M5 from a lorry parked on the hard shoulder.As we passed we saw why as the flames were pouring out of it

[TheOnlyNemesis]

Nah, i stopped walked her to the side of the road real quick and then got on the floor and started doing my best impression of the bad wolf from the three pigs story.

[_Stretchie_]

Bloody hell Stu. You'll do owt to get some attention

; )

[Jayneflakes]

This has nothing what so ever to do with the strange gadget that he wired into his bike that makes it think that it is permanently in third gear does it? I know that it was causing him some minor issues.

My advice, never let Nemesis work on your bike, he breaks them!

Poor boy that he is. ;-)

ROFL
Sorry to hear. Hope the bike is sorted soon.

My daughter commented that it's a lot warmer in Stu's garage that outside. He helpfully set it on fire again to warm it up :D

Where is the video?

[TheOnlyNemesis]

It does seem my bike believes i am shouting flame on and she is the human torch.

Might take a while to get to Bristol from Muscat International Airport.

so what did you do then.Did you panic and wave your arms about , or did you drop it and run like crazy

I bet he kept riding, pulled a hot blonde out of a nearby Lambo, and did her all three ways while beating the Lambo in a drag race. And then he jumped using the ramp on a car transporter going so fast the flames blew out and he landed in a big pile of money and sweets.

I do some basic firefighting training every year with hoses, foam, powder, co2 etc once a year, and a few live runs of smoke diving(is that the name for it?) I would NOT want to use a powder bottle in the house or the garage, it's my third option in the house, water is first(fire hose in the washingroom) 2nd is foam(first option if it's a petrol/fluid fire) and 3rd option is powder, powder is good, but it's a ****** ******* ******* ******** **** ****** ****** to clean up afterwards. Foam bottles are nearlly as cheap as powder nowadays so the few extra quids you spend on it will pay it self if you ever need it. And powder just puts out the fire, it doesn't cool the area, foam puts it out and cools it down so the fire can't start up again.
Fine mist spray from the garden hose is also good, and can even be used to take out an electrical fire in the fuse cabinet.

Atleast that's my £0.5 opinion
