“On july 24, 2008 I was riding my 2003 harley davidson ultra classic. As I slowed to enter a parking lot, gas began spewing from under the gas tank onto the hot engine and exhaust headers. White smoke fumes began coming off the engine. I was able to get stopped, get off the bike and turn it off. I was an instant away from a fire. I had gasoline soaked into my jeans. I was very fortunate that me and the bike did not catch on fire. I had the bike trucked to the local harley davidson store in fort washington, md. They said that sometimes the fuel hose gets old and comes off. …”
