Burning bike

bigjohn · 06-12-2009, 12:41 PM

I just read on the Delphi Vulcan forum that VROC Donna's Green-Green Nomad burned in a gas station. She was headed to the VROC gathering and had suspected a coolant leak and was on the phone with Sam when it went up.

The station people tried to put it out but their extinguishers wouldn't work. The local fire marshal was driving by and stooped to help. Looks like the bike is a total loss.

Fortunately, Donna is OK.

Glad she was not injured.

I had a fuel pump on my 99' that leaked and was dumping fuel on the cylinders; glad I didn't end up like this.

WOW

, Poor nomad glad she's ok, was it from fueling up that ignited or a leak? Scary

What on earth would cause that?!!! It is a wonder that the gas pumps didn't blow-up as well.

Glad she was okay.

**ringadingh** · 06-12-2009, 08:05 PM
