Exhaust Burns
Somone please tell me that they also have a big scar/burn on their leg from the exhaust when getting in out????
My 3" long by 1" wide burn is now blistering and full of fluid - all very nice...
Where's that lavender oil gone - will have to keep a bottle in the car I think.
Pat....

My neighbour got one when leaning over into mine taking the pi55 out of where the ignition barell is.................needless to say she hasnt taken
the wee since 
I almost scorched my mum's polo too, had a bit of an issue starting it after i had done some engine re-assembly, ended up with it quite well
flooded, it eventually fired and then shot a ball of flame licking right up the side of my mums polo

Not if You're Bob
7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?

Macspeedy got one on the arm after being warned! or should that be warmed.
I got one picking the quad out a ditch!
Was at a bike accident scene when a good samaritian attempted to pick up the 125 honda by the nice handle comeing out the engine! opps exhaust. Took
a second or two for the heat to sink in and kapow!!!!!!!!!  Grown men do cry.
His injury was worse than the scooter pilot!
PS You can use the inner barrel from a washing machine to make a guard!
Pat if it hot someone will burn themselves
Its called murphys law!

Reminds me of the time when I was a kid and i thought I would play blacksmith.
Threw some 2p's into the fire, waited until they were cherry red, removed with the tongs and proceeded to bash into funny shapes.
Unfortunatly I dropped one of the buggers on the carpet. To stop it burning all the way through the carpet i picked it up (still cherry red) and then
promptly dropped it again to make another burnt hole. Doh! Ended up with a clear marking of the queens head burnt onto my thumb. Boy did it hurt!!

Its a mixture of both actually ned
Its not massive, as the avatar shows
more like a std car height than the ground hugging clearance of a locost
