    MotoGP Rider Escape His Flaming Motorcycle

    Scary stuff.





    From the article:
    Motorcycle racing doesn’t get much scarier than this. Yes, simply hopping on a bike and cutting corners insanely close at high speeds is terrifying. But imagine you did all that and then your bike erupted into flames.

    Yea, in slow motion you can just see him thinking, "just going for my apex", "why is my leg getting so hot", "oh, what the !", "must stop", "slow enough to bail yet?". Definitely not what you want to have happen.

    (Edit: Just for the record, it was BSB not MotoGP.)
