Fire extinguisher

[bosco659]

Wondering who out there carries a fire extinguisher on their bike? Thinking it wouldn’t be a bad idea but limited space and vibration wouldn’t be great for the dry chemical models. I have a “high tech” extinguisher for the kitchen and my car and that might be a fit somewhere on the bike. No chemicals, non toxic, doesn’t leave messy residue. Only real downside is cost.

The garage and house also have 10lb ABC extinguishers too

If the fire's too big to piss on, I'm leaving it.

Yeah hanging around a fire burning under a tank of gasoline may not have a very good cost/benefit ratio.
Gotta say I have done it myself.
Several times while watching 2 feet of flame building above a V8 4 barrel carb; yelling at the guy in the car KEEP CRANKING it ! LOL.
(they would usually start up and suck in the flames)

Been there, done that with the fire in the carb. Lol.

When I moved away from home after finishing school I rented a townhouse with a couple of buddies. Needed a project so I bought an old Suzuki 80 basket case. Got it put together in the basement and thought I should see if it ran before carrying it upstairs (starting a 2 stroke in the basement = Darwin Award). Added fuel, had a nice backfire and the bike was in flames. Started trying to beat the flames out with a blanket because I figured if I burned the townhouse complex down I’d be paying for it for the rest of my life. Luckily I put the fire out. The dumb things I did when I was younger. Maybe that’s where I got my obsession to have fire extinguishers around.

I like that there is no residue and non toxic. Lots of guts in my car club have them now.
