Sometimes horrible things can lead to glorious endings. Back on March 2011, I was riding home from work on the I-15 when my ZX-11 went dead. I coasted to the side of the freeway where my bike promptly caught on fire and went up like a roman candle. Had the tow driver bring it home. Didn't have insurance on it cause it was too old ( a '93). Got some buck from the recycle place but I didn't have enough to buy a new bike. I saved every penny I could and bought Mighty Blue last May. Happy ending after all.http://www.zx14ninjaforum.com/userfiles/poppabear/IMG_4040.JPGhttp://www.zx14ninjaforum.com/userfiles/poppabear/IMG_4040.JPGhttp://www.zx14ninjaforum.com/userfiles/poppabear/IMG_4040.JPG

Holy crap! Glad you were not on it when it decided to go incendiary!! Congrats on the new bike.

That will buff right out!!!! Lol

Sucks man, but having a ZX14 is a great way to ease the pain.

Not too long ago driving home on the highway came upon a Honda Blackbird on fire. Stopped to offer any help, damn thing burned to the ground, nothing but engine/pipe, rear subframe, forks/rotors, tire cords, and puddles of melted alloy left. Huge bummer, stood there with the owner watching it.

That ZX11 was one HOT bike!

Wow, terrible. It must really suck to be there and not be able to stop the fire.

Hey Wolfman, I had my bike to a local speed shop for some tuning just a week before. I had been going to this place for years and never had any trouble with them. I had smelled some gas in the garage, but thought it was my wife's dirt bike. Apparently they didn't properly attach a fuel line. No way to prove it though. I can't think of anything else that would make a bike catch fire. I'm not sure what was worse; watching it burn or waiting for a year, saving every penny so I could to buy Mighty Blue! Enjoy your bike. We really are riding the most amazing motorcycle ever.
