Default Raptor cought on fire

My oil tank leaks so i leave a rag right under on the frame of the bike. I never rode my bike for about 2 months because of all the snow, so I forgot the rag was there. I went riding with my brother all over the frozen marsh and ponds in back of our house. So with all this riding the pipes got pretty hot. I kept going on the marsh while my brother took a different path, we were both going to meet up in the woods. I got their before him and I was waiting in the path...I could smell something but it never clued in that it might be my bike. I seen my brother comming, as he got close he started yelling my name and that my bike was on fire...I looked down to see it all in flames so I quickly jumped down to throw snow on it...It didnt burn anything, just gave me quite a thrill!

I was going to gas the raptor up before we left but I knew i had enough fuel. I think its a good thing I didnt because usually when I pour the gas from a full jug I always spill abit on the side of the bike, and down where the flames where.

That would have been nice to see...the raptor go up in flames while im sitting on it!

Just thought I would tell you guys my story!

Thankfully you werent hurt, bet that flaming Rappy looked cool as you were riding. Sounds like its time for a new oil tank.
