About the cheapest insurance you can get. I always carry a fire extinguisher in the van and I've taken it out only once in 10 years -- when a car across the street jumped the curb and hit a power pole (zoned-out driver with his wife and kids in the car). Luckily there was no fire but they were glad I showed up with the thing anyway. SQ

When I got my Dad's bike, it had a Fire extinquisher inside a compartment in the fairing, never been used. Rebuilt the carb and attempting to set idle and idle mix, had bike idling in garage, back fire through carb and carb. lit off, the extinquisher was close grabbed it, pulled the key squeezed the trigger...... nothing! Luckily U had some damp towels in the garage wiith me from another porjectthat day andtoss over the tank and carb, and snuffed it out. Extent of damage... soot stains on freshly waxed tank, sooty carb. and need for clean underpants. Cleaned up all three items, disposed of ancient throw away fire extinguishet.
