Hi All,
Just read through this topic with interest.
I'm surprised no one has made further comment on JohnA's word of warning.
Strangely enough many years ago now I saw photographs of a guy (military personnel) who'd come off his motorbike while carrying extra petrol in a makeshift container. I guess he was unlucky that the fuel ignited but that's what happened anyway. The images were most gruesome!
I assure you that this is true and I was shown the photographs while on a fire fighting course as part of my training in the Royal Air Force. The military never shy away from showing the most unpleasant of things to their recruits, as any ex-serviceman will tell you!
My brother has got a couple of unbelievable stories about people torching themselves (by accident of course!) while in the Army. But that's the army for you..... can't expect any better really ;-)
Anyway I'm not out to preach. Just thought I'd pass on a life experience (starting to sound like my Dad now!)
Safe biking,
Paul
