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.
Depends on the terms of the insurance you got. My 2011 GTI got totalled by the fucker who hijacked me and I bought a 5 year replacement insurance from a private company. ICBC reimbursed me 25k market value and Optiom insurance paid the difference between the ICBC cheque and what I paid for back in 2011 (36k+tax)
Just drove by and damm. Out of all the cars, why didn't he hit the pumpkin car in front.

I saw the aftermath, I hope the rider gets a speedy recovery, I was told by one of the witnesses that the rider could have been transporting a fuel can by cradling it in front.

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

saw that on the news here at first i thought you crashed! luckily you were safe inside :/ hopefully you didnt lose anything important in the car
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.
^^ you looking to sell? I hear someone's in the market for a low km white gti
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.
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.

Holy fuck. As long as the biker recovers. If he / she made an error, then hopefully they learn from it.
In typical Vanshitty Buzz fashion, some butthurt SJWs crying about his tweet
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.
just saw it on news at 6
reporter: "as for Lau...he's renting a car for the next little while..."
cheeky bastard...
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.
