Dude... that sucks.

 

Ouch!

Sorry to hear that. Glad you're okay. The photos are a bit gut-wrenching! Trust you had her insured.

So....they really DO get hot under the seat, eh......



O.B

 

shit that sucks. pics are gut wrenching. hopefully you didnt suffer any damage yourself. if you ever figure out what why let us know.

 

Good to hear your Ok. Damn that sucks. there is no other way to say it

 

Sweet baby Jesus.........No idea why or how it started?

 

That'll buff right out.

It sucks, but look at it this way. Now you get to go new bike shopping! And at least you're ok. That's what matters.

 

Christ................. :-(

That's horrible. Good thing is that shit didn't happen when you were ON the bike or a situation where it ignited and you were pinned or something horrible like that.

That's a shame! I thought this only happened to r6's... :-(

Hopefully insurance will take care of it and you'll be back on the road again soon!

Holy Jesus, man! That blows, glad you're OK though. I imagine the Fire Dept. was a bit surprised to see a bike on its stand in flames as opposed to on its side.

 

I was on the bike when it happened... It shut off on me, like it just died electrically... The RPM just stopped, and I looked and saw the dash was off and the throttle non-responsive... So I just coasted to the side of the road thinking I was having a typical R/R electrical gremlin...

When I got off I noticed the smoke and heard some crackling, and looked deep under the tank/seat area and saw a little orange flame... Probably one of the electrical wires caught fire???

Too hard to tell as the whole thing is melted down now. I doubt any kind of forensic investigation will be made... Other than that the bike was running just fine all morning.

I'm sure it'll end up on youtube...A lot of people stopped during the fire and pointed their cell phones at it...Filming or photographing it

Anyways I do have it insured, but they'll just total it out for it's blue book value I hear.

I wonder if somehow the fuel line wiggled loose? Just speculating since I haven't had occasion to pull my tank off yet and don't know for sure how it's attached.

 

WOW! Sorry to see that. That's so weird.

 

Makes you wonder if it's worth carrying one of these things in a pack when you ride.

Maybe overkill for something so unlikely, but it only weighs about 1.5lbs.

 

what kind of insurance do you need to cover something like that? my insurance company told me that comprehensive nor collision will cover any of that stuff....

 

Damn!!! So sorry to see that! Im glad you're okay. I'm pretty sure comprehensive will cover it.

 

Yeah, comprehensive should be just that, comprehensive. Fire, theft, vandalism, etc. Everything aside from you wrapping it around a tree.

 

Oh god that's awful. Glad you at least got plenty of distance first. Hope insurance takes care of you!

 

My condolences. That is just horrible...

 

Wow, that's scary that the bike would just catch on fire. Glad to hear that you were able to get off the bike with plenty of time to spare to snap a picture.

 

Dude. That sucks... sorry to hear :/

 

W/ my Progressive policy, I have a base coverage of up to $3000 in accessories. I can add more if I want. Just have to have receipts.

 

holy moly. thats just crazy. when my RR went out the last time i was cranking about 16.8 volys and was told it could burn up. wonder? well, sorry man.....

 

holy sh*t!!!

glad you alright but im speechless after seeing those pics...hopefully we get to see you on another 675 in the near future

 

WOW - that's some scary shit - glad you're OK!!

 

:tissue::tears::sad5::verysad:

 

I feel like the bike catching on fire is something Triumph should be responsible for. Its not like you crashed it...It caught on fire through normal everyday use...

Sucks dude. I can't even imagine.

 

fire? out the fire when

why didn't u put out the fire when it was small?

 

why didn't u put out the fire when it was small?
