    so, riding home after a visit to the bro in laws (fixin his computer, in a shitty part of town) ride most of the way home, stop at a roundabout, go to pull away an theres nothing but wheelspin, instantly smell petrol an panic, look round an ye fuel tap's hanging out of the bike, FULL tank of fuel GUSHING over my incredibly hot pipe, steam (somhow) everywhere. ran over to the grass on the side of the road, layd it down on the pipe, pushed the tap back in and fucking ran away hoping it wouldent go up (it didnt)

    some cheeky fucker's try'd to drain the fuel so the bike's stuck there (no lock, im ard) broad daylight during commuter traffic, fastener is rounded to fuck (i know for a fact it was fine, i dont round off screws/bolts and if i do i replace them and i rebuilt this bike from scratch 3 times) once again forgot and got too comfy wiht the whole riding thing, check your bike over BEFOR you ride it every time you do, you never know when some little cunt has been playing wiht it

    still shaking like mad... how the FUCK it didnt go up in flames ill never know. VERY lucky!!

    Had kind of a similar incident my self many moons ago...

    but this time it was me driving along in a shitty Austin Allegro, the car starts kangarooing and generally playing up followed by a very strong petrol smell :hitit:

    so i pull over pop the bonnet and the fuel hose to the carb had perished and sprung a big leak straight onto the very hot exhaust manifold :w00t:

    Same scenario as yours minor, lots of steam and hissing and i thought christ this is surely going up :w00t:

    But it didnt somehow....scary shit all the same :wtf:

    ahh see, thats down to por mantenance from an old owner.. all the a series engines have a protective sleeve on the fuel line, always forgotten, they run so close it just melts away.
    if anyone has a mini, minor, alegro (if you even know what one is) old shape metro or the like check this... but ye.. STILL shakin. :confused: gonna find the lil muppet trust.... back to the same spot tomorrow, with a bat and the door on the latch

    pipe was fookin hot tho. a ciggy wont ignite petrol unless confined (wont generate enough vapour to become unstable)
    as soon as i saw it i jumped off while reachin for the keys an PRAYD it didnt backfire as i switched it of. was FUCKING lucky

    So what you're saying is, you NEARLY got killed? But your still alive.

    In other words, nothing happened.

    I was NEARLY a millionaire last Saturday, jus 6 numbers short of winning the Lottery :w00t:

    Laugh at Death, appreciate your life ;)
