Is that yours!!!????

Souleh · 21 Sep 2011 at 15:04

Yip. Going to the scrappers tomorrow. Electrical fire under the tank meets petrol.

70mph fireball ensues.

Fireskull · 21 Sep 2011 at 15:20

God damn

glad your ok though! Any idea how the electrical fire started?

Souleh · 21 Sep 2011 at 15:31

Havent a clue sadly, any evidence went up in smoke.. Just a mess under there.

Few scorch marks on my helmet etc. Apparently fireball was about 6ft and over my head according to the guy following me. Was able to stop and just hop off though - +1 to full leathers

Fireskull · 21 Sep 2011 at 15:37

Sounds scary as hell! Definitely going to scrap it then? insurance claim or just getting rid of it?

Souleh · 21 Sep 2011 at 15:43

Wasnt the most fun. Theres parts of melted stuff gone down into the engine breather so god only knows what work would be needed asides replacing all bodywork, wiring loom, throttle bodies, airbox, coolant plumbing... etc. Too much effort.

Time to get a track/race bike and go from there.

******* hell, glad your ok. But also what a story to tell people.

Thanks for the offer but unfortunately I'm working.

Only just realised this sub forum existed! This is my first bike and I'm so lucky as it's also my dream bike. Hearing is believing.

Went to brands hatch on the 19th, what an amazing day!

blackninja · 27 Sep 2011 at 20:33

Picked this up on Sunday ... 08 R1 with some nice mods for track use but still ok for a road session with some street bodywork on it to make it 'more' legal for the odd bit of weekend use

I didn't realise anyone from here was at Brands on the 19th

Which group were you in? I was in the novices (after almost a year off bikes) I was so slow......

Myself on my SP1
