Fire!

I came across this blog that had these neat photos. Couldn't resist so here they are. I can't read Japanese and I had some of it roughly translated to me, so I'm going to tell you what I've been told.




It was nice out, so he went for a ride.

Nice day, he decided to take a photo.
Oh look, a girl on the beach.
Nice day but time to go... so I'll kick my bike over and...
BACKFIRE through the carb! My Linkert is on fire! Now my fuel line and gas tank's on fire!
Oh fuck. Front half of the bike's on fire. Somebody had a fire extinguisher though.
They gave it another shot.
Fire's out.
Fire truck showed up.

And the cops and the ambulance too.
Make sure it's out.
Chopper parts are burned.
Even after it burned, the headlight worked.

The fire sucked.
Here it is waiting repairs.
Excuse my ad lib. Everyone please check your timing (especially if you're running a Linkert). The End.

Terrible thing to happen... but the image of the bike on fire is fucking amazing!

Am I the only one that finds it funny that a Japanese dude would take out his camera and take photos of his burning bike rather than try to put it out?

Bummer. I like the "patina" on the headlight cover rim, though.
