A biker riding a KTM 1290 with a jerry can? Wow the Darwin is strong on this one! Not sure if I should wish him a speedy recovery. Survival of the fittest?

looks like vancity buzz ninja edit'd there post & removed it...it was written down on the bottom "one of the witnesses said that the rider could have been transporting a fuel can by cradling it in front."....was the exact sentence they used.

i bet if they got the RCMP to investigate you can check local security cameras at gas stations and see this guy holding a red tank above his bike,wouldn't be hard to miss.

White GTI's are jinxed.

My car riot damaged, swfk's car hijacked and now Ronin's car fireballed.

As if the usual Volkswagen problems weren't enough.

CEL is not enough to kill them, so... other reasons.


but in all seriousness hope the guy is ok, and ICBC would sort out this freak incident!

I'm pretty sure RS is where they get all their news so I wouldn't be surprised.

Nah, I actually was going to take the car to the body shop (there was a small dent on the passenger front fender) so I cleared everything out. Lost a jacket, a pair of earbuds and that's about it.

...and my cool custom garage door opener mod

If my camera gear or worse, my laptop and HDs were in the car, I'd be Backdrafting my way through that shit with a fire extinguisher...and I'd be way more pissed.

But hey, I'm not injured...the worst thing that will come out of this is I'm probably out a couple thousand bucks and a load of my time.

Already got my rental car...a Ford Fiesta SE. It's so dangerous driving something with no torque and so little power. Can't drive like I usually do.

I drive a 2012 white GTI... T___T

Glad OP was not in the car / not hurt. Can't imagine how upset I'd be if my car was crashed into and combusted.

Random note, since op is talking about low mileage, I'm pretty sure no one can beat mine. 2012, just over 7000 kms... I need to drive more ;s

Ehhh, most likely not. Not that I LOVE it or anything, but knowing I paid it off completely and only driven ~7000 kms makes me feel silly (from a financial stand point) if I were to sell it already.

Ed, only saw the initial post on FB earlier. Didn't realize the fire had managed to take out the whole car. Glad you're okay, though cars can always be replaced. Hope the biker makes a speedy recovery.

Trust me, I know how much it sucks seeing a car you worked hard for (and on) go up in flames.

Holy fuck. As long as the biker recovers. If he / she made an error, then hopefully they learn from it.

Heard from a friend that the fellow rider is in ICU with 3rd degree burns.
From what I have heard, he is a well respected mature rider and the accident was an accident and he wasn't carrying a gas can in his lap.
There is even a chance he is a fellow RS member.

I saw. I thought maybe I shouldn't but really, I don't know what else I should've done. So I responded to one of them. Should I have said it super somber or something? Sorry, I don't have that in me. Too many hours of watching CK, Chris Rock and Ricky Gervais.

I did ask around to see who knows who the guy is but I don't want to bother the cops or whatever.

Those fuckers.

Not even mad though. I didn't particularly like that they burst into my office asking for an interview but hey, they're just doing their job and hustling too. We were done in 10 minutes and I appreciate that they let me get back to work.

Seriously. Who the fuck cares about your car. Rider is a friend of mine he is a nice person and he is a mature rider . It's a freak accident that bike burst in flames and even rarer that the rider catches on fire. From the looks of the impact he couldn't have been going fast. Forks not bent to shit and back of your car isn't even dented. I hope he pulls thru.
