    Did this involve petrol , a toothbrush and smoking at the same time
    perchance?

    Looks like a Daytona 675 and a scoot.

    It's a CBR600RR or Fireblade 1000 judging by that heyooge braced
    swingarm and underseat silencer. The Daytona 675 swingarm is a little
    more subtle.

    Neither have I but human stupidity is a wonderful thing.
    Perhaps they were 'cleaning motorbike parts' with
    an angle grinder?

    I used to work in an insurance department and we once took a call with a
    hell of a lot of background noise. Our guy asked the woman on the other end
    what was going on. "Oh", she says calmly, "that's the fire brigade. I'm in
    a phone box." They were still trying to put the fire out and she was
    already on the phone asking us to send her a claim form in the post!

    Turns out her husband had been decanting petrol with a fag in his mouth.
    HTF he wasn't burned to a crisp we'll never work out!

    I've never set fire to an angle grinder either.

    Many years ago a friend of mine was welding an MG midget in a lockup garage
    when it caught fire. The car was between him and the door. Despite being
    decidedly non-athletic he found out that that he was able to clear the car
    with a single, standing jump. Amazing what can be achieved with a bit of
    an incentive.
