Guess what it is???Text

 

Let's see... definitely Polaris... newer two stroke; so it's a Scrambler or a Trail Blazer - probably a Scrambler... I have no idea what year. Nice torch job - hope no one was hurt.

 

Yes it is a Scramy a 2002 ,My friend did not get hurt that owned it but my other did he spent 3 weeks in the burn unit, got out 11/09/02 third degree on knees and hands
This was caused by fueling in the garage by a kerosene heater that was about 8 ft from the ATV,and he got burned by pushing it out of his garage.


SO PLEASE FUEL IN A WELL VENTALATED AREA OR OUTSIDE AND MAKE SURE THE BIKE IS COOLED DOWN THIS SUCKED!!!!

Third-degree burns are seriously bad news - well... ANY burns are bad. Glad your friend is out of the burn unit.

It's amazing how fast something like that can happen. People that think they are being safe all the time get lulled into a false sense of security, 'That would never happen to me...' yeah, right! It happens so fast, you look back and say, 'that was stupid'.

Back in my early twenties I did something similar with a jet ski... The engine wouldn't start so we pulled the fuel tank to get to the magneto cover and in the process we spilled some fuel in the bottom of the engine compartment (it still had some lake water in there - now with pre-mix floating on top). We always disconnected the battery after a lake trip to save the charge, but to try to get it to start we would touch the battery leads to the battery and hit the starter - well you can probably imagine what happened when the battery lead sparked when we hit the starter - something right out the cartoons - a low 'whump' sound and the next thing I know I don't have any eyebrows, eyelashes, sideburns, etc. My head was right over the engine compartment when it blew. There wasn't much of a fire thank god - it took a lot of budweiser to make the pain go away.

Pretty dumb - almost as dumb as the time I put diesel in my Kawsaki 1000 at a mis-labeled pump - it ran, barely. It wasn't until a fuel-covered screwdriver slipped from my grip that I started to get a clue.

 

A couple of summers ago, my buds and I came upon a brand new Warrior which had just finished burning down. The rider was carrying his spare fuel can a weeee bit too close to his silencer. Got to be careful!!!

My dad and I had a very nice motorcycle burn up. It was a restored 74 harly super glide. We just finished putting on gas tanks and were ready to fire it up we were excited. The timing was advanced and caused it to backfire through the carb and my dad went to hit it out with a towel and knocked off the fuel line and it burnt compleatly even the garage, it was terrible the fire department had to come.

My Trail boss burnt, not bad. I pulled the plug and turned it over to see if their was spark and the gas in the cylinder caught I was able to put it out with an extinguisher.
