Actually, I was more in to the humor than the accuracy. |

Agreed, total BS, a cigarette will not ignite gasoline, it doesn't burn hot enough.

Tom, give up. It was funny but the joke is being dissected. Soon it will be come a "harley bashing" and who knows where the string will end up.
Thanks for the laugh. I know it isn't true. Most jokes aren't. But they are still funny.

Sorry, didn't mean to deflate a good funny story... Yes, I see it as the humorous story it is, but I'll admit to having gotten on a bit of a hair trigger with things being billed as true that are really just funny stories due to my dad and the endless stream of crazy e-mails he sends me, believing every one of them to be fact...

Remove "Dad" and insert "Sister" and if I had a dollar for every "Bill Gate is testing a new email system...send this to 10 friends and Mickey Mouse will dance on your screen...." email I would be rich. Still a funny story Tom! |

Besides, everyone knows a Harley doesn't have enough power to bust through a glass patio door...  Sorry, I couldn't resist. |
