you'd not be a happy bunny coming to see that,but have never read or seen anything else about those warmers (apparently theres threads everwhere though?)
A real shame for the owner, hopefully others can help keep him racing the weekend. I think Bongo is at the same race meeting.
I've very nearly witnessed the same. Standing on the pit wall at Almeria looking back into the garages my mates front wheel started smoking. Cue major panic and shouting. I grabbed the power while my mate ripped off the tyre warmer. Too late to save the brand new tyre which had a zig zag burn in it about 5mm deep following the element but at least the bike was ok. They were biketek too.
was that a few years ago m8? i was at almeria and that happened,was next to him on the garage at the back.
Yeah you were there mate, you and a few other sbf peeps. Think this is from that year. Paul in red & black had the tyre warmer burn out. I would have said with the black gixer but that wouldn't of helped much ! Was that the same year Damo launched his brand new bike into hyperspace ?
Should have read the small print, they're described as 'Bike Warmers'. Seriously though, gutting for the poor bloke.
indeed it was,in fact i can see my tool box real shame about damo's bike,the damage was unbelievable.
