“I refueled my motorcycle, as I was leaving I noticed my legs get hot. I did not pay it much mind until there was an absurd amount of pain then I looked down and I seen that my motorcycle was on fire. I then pulled over and called 911 for assistance and be transported to the hospital to get treated for my burns. My motorcycle was destroyed. The electronics were fried, the plastics were melted and it stunk of gasoline. I also taken pictures of the burns to my leg and the motorcycle.”
