Wow I hope the rider wasn't hurt. I've seen a few bike accidents myself, but never one where the entire bike was consumed in flames. Guess the gas tank ruptured. Also the accidents I've seen involved other drivers. Usually someone in a car or truck cuts off the biker, not paying attention and not seeing him, or the other way around, the biker is at fault because he decides to zigzag through traffic, so intent in his zigzagging he isn't paying attention to the other drivers' maneuvers. Few years ago one guy died right in front of my friends' house while I was visiting. I'm sure he died, it was horrible, his leg was in a position nobody's leg should be in, blood everywhere, horrible. People are going at least 50mph on that road, and it is a bit curvy, two lanes for both directions. Knocked his boots right into her yard.
