Well, that ruined your day, week, month and maybe year ... Fortunately you weren't in the garage when it went "poof' ... Good Luck on finding a replacement

Wow, sorry for your loss. Glad the garage didn’t go up with her.

How the Hell did that not burn your whole garage down? Its a wonder the gas tank didn't cook off and go up. Amazing.

Are you saying it caught fire or did this happen from some type of chemical reaction? If it caught fire how on earth did it burn that much and not catch the garage on fire? Or at the very least totally smoke up everything inside the building? Granted you lost your bike and I'm sorry that happened but I can't help but ask these questions.

Man, that's bad. Like others, it's a wonder it didn't take the shop with it. I hope insurance does you right.
