    My Rocket in Flames on the Launchpad!!

    Thanks man. I'm doing much better. Once I finish healing up and can get out of the house I plan on going to my dealership and measuring tank depths on all the Triumph models. I feel like this may be a contributing factor.

    Thanks for asking. According to my doctors, I'm healing ahead of pace for it being only 2 weeks. I've been doing a high protein diet which I think has helped. My face is almost back to normal and my left arm is without bandages. I've got light wraps on the right which took most of the...

    No, I was manually holding the pump when it failed. I definitely won't be trusting any pumps for a while. Thank you, I couldn't see myself not conquering this challenge and getting back on the many horses. 😄

    Thanks man! I was planning on going blue with satin black accents. It was going to be spectacular. It'll be coming soon though. 😉

    Those tabs are definitely a big "no-no" on a bike but you're absolutely right. Never trust your life or your bike to a sensor. Even though gas stations fight your attention with TVs and expect you to rely on their devices. When on 2 wheels the risks are higher at all times.

    Definitely, don't sit on the bike while fueling. I remember learning that from MSF school back in the days. Thanks for the kind words. Stay vigilant and I'll be back on 2 wheels soon enough. 🙂

    I didn't step away. I held the nozzle the whole time. That's how I got the brunt of it. Eyebrows and eyelashes are gone but the free facial has taken years off my skin. Gotta look for the positive right?! 😄

    The law firm will handle that at a later point. I get to relax and heal.

    You know I thought the exact same thing when I got the picture! It still looks good. It would make a bass-ass bobber pro 😄

    They have and seen the video, so has the police detective for fire and arson. I've been contacted by Wawa corporate which says the pump manufacturer is at fault. The pump manufacturer wants to take a look at the bike. The circle of blame has begun. I don't take offense because that's how you...

    My guess is the gas flow was too strong causing the fuel to not settle and trip the sensor. That in addition to a shallow insertion for the nozzle.

    Absolutely, I'm a pretty vain MF'er! I'll be going above and beyond to look as good as I did before. 😄 Hopefully with no noticeable scars.

    I think I will. They should be aware to keep track of issues.
