    With the amount of Jack Daniels you drink Bartz, I reckon that thing down your pants is more likely to be a flame thrower than a fire retardant!

    Ummmm Im pretty sure it doesnt matter wtf fire extinguisher you got


    All they are worried about is INSURANCE

    "Yea mrs doodaaa they all had extinguishers on board"........"ok mr dodaa good cunt for letting all these peeps ride on your land i see you have followed all our guide lines heres your 3 million dollar cheque"

    Done deal game over
    Even on the old ones if you dont race serious and you wanna just go do the odd club day and smoke everyone on a big old 5hundy it great and if you get beaten you have a handful of excuses

    exactly.

    nobody actually expects you to put out a forest fire!

    Ho Ho Ho, Evan, that cracked me up with a proper LOL. Cheers.

    Was interesting Scott's post on other thread re holed extinguisher fizzled out in about 20 secs. Has anyone ever used one of these things in anger?

    Most of these organised rides have a fair bit of traffic, so hopefully more than one extinguisher per fire if it ever happens (touch wood). We better hope it doesn't too, as it'll probably be the end of forest riding and big black mark in forest will be another big black mark against bikes. Can't expect ride organisers to check 'em. Responsible rider's job. Not many rules so it's easy to follow them.

    I've seen a half-burnt air filter on trail at Muriwai end of Woodhill and a few months ago I was behind an overheating bike that was belching out a major trail of sparks and flame - could definitely have started a fire. I wonder if a say a metre-square fire blanket could be as good as an extinguisher? Easy to carry.

    Its about public liability...not your bike.
    You try and get public liability insurance for an event in a forest , without mandatory extinguishers ....
    It would be cost prohibitive.

    Thanks IIIRII for the tip. It has inspired me to try and do the same. I was a little worried about the weight of the extinguisher on the plastic mudguard so I tried out this hose clip onto the subframe - not sure if it will be effective? Much happier not to have fire extinguisher in back pack now - even just for sparing my back the weight.

    Nice tidy mount there. not usre how long it will last with large rocks and some big crashes i wouldnt want it jaming me in the legg. ive got mine on my armour.

    Its so silly having them have you ever used one? you are better of taking a piss on the fire! Most of my mates ones are empty from being puntured or because they where bored and used it. You can glue the gauge to read full

    i used mine on some guys twin shock xr200 at a trail ride up here, we were folowing him and could see the flames beside his leg, fuel line had split and started burning, but thats the only time, the husky has a v in the front guard the it fits in nicely with a cpl cable ties and its mint.

    i think on an old pile of shit bike - eg a twin shock xr, which clearly hadnt had a re-vamp, an extinguisher is a good idea

    Good to know it came in handy there 4stroke. How much juice was left in it after putting fire out?

    hmm XR? Maybe should've let it burn.

    used two to put it out, but thats proberly the point of the organiser wanting everyone to carry a small one, then if someone does have a fire usually theres enough people arround to hopefully put it out, we dont really want to have a forest burn down and not be able to ride aye. id imagine any bike could catch fire too, it would only take a big accedent (high side or cartwheel) for something to get riped off or extremly hot header pipe to lay on some real dry pine needles and flamage, 1 in 10 mill chance of some thing happening tho.
