SO ----who,s ever seen a fire caused by a bike on a N.Z. trail type ride?? ??

Ask Monsterman when he gets back from North America.
His crashed bike managed to burn a couple of hundred acres of prime Central Otago scrubland ....:weep:

Carrying the fire extinguisher is more about liabilty, and prevention of large scale fire. A small fire can be stopped BEFORE it's a BIG fire.
Crashes, fuel and hot engines in tinder dry grasses don't mix so good.

To be fair, it was a Ducati road bike...

I don't think he even had to crash it for it to catch fire, was just riding along IIRC.

Epoxy putty.
Something to clean your visor/googles.

I thought I had my navigational aid all sorted but she broke her ankle. Will hopefully be ok after a reboot in a few weeks though :yes:
