    I liked the part where someone threw a bottle of water at the gas-fueled fire! Might as well piss on it.

    I was there and saw it happen! Someone said it was a fuel leak and discarded cigarette that started it.

    Never pour water on a gasoline fire, all it does is spread it by washing the gasoline around. Not that one bottle of water is going to do much damage or help anyway. However the person's heart was in the right place.

    Default I was at the rally too

    I saw a bunch of people running over to that area but there were hundreds of people around there too. Glad no one got hurt because of it. The rally was a lot of fun overall. This was the first time for me at this particular event and I will be back next year..!

    Well, looking for the good news in all of this, there was an insurance company on the site, Progressive was first to respond.

    That's what happens when you do mods to your bike and don't have a clue what your doing. I'll guarantee the bike owner or mechanic he hired made the bike "look" nice but didn't give a damn about the type of rubber used in the fuel line. With "Harley" owners its all about looks and not about reliability etc. My thoughts.
