didnt know this was possible...
what got hot enough to ignite?

 

Damn with a burnout like that, anyhtin is possible I guess.

 

looks like the header

 

I can see the craigslist ad now... "smokey barbeque scented seats and fresh paint! engine needs a slight tune up"

 

he might also want to add "THIS BIKE IS HOT!!!"

 

Well, hell. He's redlining the poor thing. People dont understand once you get the tires spinning you can slow down.


Did ya'll notice the dumb bitch that tried to "blow" the fire out.

 

^^^

Even better, did you see the ones trying to pour BEER on the fire??!!!!??!!

Yep, looks like the header overheated, which ignited the lower fairing, which in turn caused the coolant lines to burst just before someone cane back with a fire extinguisher.

Dumbass tries to start the bike afterwards too (you can hear the starter when he straddles the bike after the fire, just before starting to push it backwards.

 

theres your problem right there... yah c that. its on fire.

 

I've seen tires catch fire before. I think those are usually from tires hitting the wires and throwing sparks.

Would it have been possible he had a header leak that spit some fuel out to help ignite the fire?

 

i guess they have money to burn
