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 

I would agree on the money to burn statement. No one even looked pissed off after that.

dumb ****s   and then he tryed to start it  lol

Pimp'n ain't eazy !!

Let that motherf**ker burn !!!

Yes I'm calling to file an insurance claim. Do you guys cover stupidity?? and how much is the deductible on that?
 
 
Smoked Screen Anyone?

In burn out pits on the hog roast's I have seen the rubber off the tiers burn.  
You can see the fire start down by the oil filter so you are prob correct the hedders got so hot they started to cook the oil filter and the ferrings.

If you're smart enough to have insurance, you shouldn't be worried. I crashed my car b/c of stupidity and my insurance covered it. I was smiling and laughing minutes later because no one was hurt.

High RPM burnout and not moving (so no air to pass through the radiator to cool the coolant). Heads are probably warped too. With headers getting that hot, anything remotely burn-able would have ignited. I surprised the tire didn't catch fire as long as that burnout was.

What i dont get is why he didnt kick it up a couple of gears.

Why a burnout like this?, to take a good grip is ok, but one to dammge a perfectly good tire is pointless!!!

Damn.. Darwin must have been sleeping that day.

wow..what a dumb ass...have fun with your nice new pile of melted garbage now.

Yep, more money than brains...
... or stolen bike.

Any guesses on the language, I'm gonna say Czech. I didn't think anyone had money in Eastern Europe except the mafia. Maybe they're hitmen and the 'hot' chick is just there for the 'good times'.
