Deadeyes Crash..Plus his Spontaneous Fazer Combustion incident.

[rustyrider]

Searched and found nothing.  I have to ask, How?

[Chris]

Those pictures are a bit scary! Just nipping out to check the shed...

That will pollish out

[Exupnut]

Hahahahahaha

[fazersharp]

You can see all the bits that had ACF-50 on them because they are untouched

[His Dudeness]

That's what happens when you let Chuck Norris clean your bike

[fazersharp]

I think the top cam covers look good in matt black
I might do the same with mine---------- although I will use paint and not fire

[kitcrazy]

holy shit not good what started it?

[richfzs]

What started it....

Sorry kitcrazy, not laughing at the question, more the answer....

Take an orbital sander, attach it to the bottom (outside) of a big plastic box so it agitates the box and contents. Fill box with coke, and some parts you want to clean. Pretend it's like a parts washer, and leave to brew...

Did I get that about right, Mr Deadeye?

[rustyrider]

So what caught fire?  The orbital sander or the coke (I assume we are talking Coca Cola here and not any other sort of coke....)?

Yeah... that's pretty much spot on... it sounds more stupid when you read it out loud...

I blame the use of Dr. Pop instead of Coca-Cola... this was surely the main reason for the failure! Me and my friends regret not using Dr. Pepper... can you imagine sending this in under their "what's the worst that could happen" slogan? 

The only thread about it that I can find, is this one - http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,5294.0.html

I'm sure there was another somewhere

I have absolutely no idea... no investigation was undertaken (probably a good thing)

It may well not have been my fault at all... but that scenario is rather unlikely, all things considered

[richfzs]

I would hazard a guess, the sander overheated and torched itself (dunno if these things will have a thermal cutout, but if not, they're designed to be used in air and being moved through that air, so they'll get some cooling from that?). Then the box would have melted, dropping the liquid all over the burning electrics...

Disclaimer : I'm just some idiot commenting on the Internet, i have no quals or experience in fire cause   investigation

[Dead Eye]

You are more than likely correct, or something along those lines at least

But since there was no proof or factual evidence, I can still testify that it MAY not have been fault... I just accept that it PROBABLY was :P

[His Dudeness]

It was a mad accident in fairness. 99 times out of 100 if you left a sander on too long nothing would happen nevermind the whole place catching fire.

[Captain Haddock]

While I am sympathetic about the bike and garage I have to confess I'm pissing myself laughing at the cause.....

[Kosmic Kartman]

Am I right in thinking this fire had something to do with a homemade ultrasonic cleaner?

Apparently! He originally told me it was his landlord's faulty foot spa!

pretty much...

[fazersharp]

I would say the fire started in the clothes dryer you can see in the back ground and spread to the bike which had its tank off. Maybe a small bottle of petrol being used as a temp tank 

[richfzs]

IIRC, the "parts washer" was on top of the dryer...

[His Dudeness]

I bet you're glad you reminded everyone of this

[noggythenog]

I am he he!!!


Hey Cristo...see all this flak that deadeye is getting....it woulda been directed at you.


Cant help noticing you getting involved though


Laws of physics n all that states that potential energy is transferred to banter energy & this site has allot of potential still in storage.


Basically Cristo you're due me a pint now

He mocks me, then I mock him. Karma has gone full circle!

Nah, it was on the floor

See! Someone believes me! My housemate was distraught from the fact that he lost 90% of his underwear in the fire... that was it.

I bet you're glad you reminded everyone of this

I'm not too fussed, nice to be the centre of attention sometimes

I don't remember ever saying that to you, AND you now owe me another favour for this thread and yes I am keeping score
