I was about to ask what kind of accident you had, but myhondas beat me to it.
Happy New Year to you, spanner!

 :D :D :D, No, didn't catch anythin' on fire Ray.... just happened to be in a 1/2 burnt-out house today and it gave me shivers down my spine :o. Something we don't often think about IMO. On a happier note, YES I will be carrying Godzilla ( or name to be decided) a few miles thru' TN and prob. into GA.....

After setting my old riding mower on fire a few years ago, I've got two fire extinguishers in my garage, cheap insurance and peace of mind, I'm a dangerous bastaard and take too many risks, so it's nice to know that if I do fukk up, I can save my other bikes, and all of my equipment too. Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

hello,

the frenchie wish you a very good year.

I have a quite particular thought for our Australian friends who undergo the floods and the New Yorkers and the others faced terrible weather conditions also (if my informations are correct).

I hope that all this will quickly be spent  ;)

Cheers.

Hi Terry

Ever since I've had a garage, I've always had two extinguishers; a little ABC powder one way inside under the bench and a big CO2 one at the entrance. 
The only fire I've ever had was some sawdust under the bench that began smoldering from metal grinding sparks and didn't need the extinguisher but if I ever have a real fire hopefully I'm prepared.
