 I'm thinking that if you said roses are red 
and the sun sets in the west , It would still cause a major furball of chaos.
Since its deer season here in Michigan  I think I will rewatch Escanaba in the Moonlight and go to bed

Wait, roses are red!?? it all makes sense now!  fires are also red. therefore red fires are hot. and cars on fire are hot. and hot cars on fire need water. We did it! we solved the EV fire problem!  Both lithium fires and roses need water. Genius!

I wonder how long my KZ650 took to put out? I didn't even get to see the fire unfortunately, just got to push it into the back of my truck after the fire dept left. I imagine several gallons of fuel spilling out of the tank on fire must have been quite the sight.

Did you find out what caused it? Lithium battery?

Hmmmm. That would make sense because ONLY lithium batteries can catch on fire, but according to SFPD and several eyewitnesses it was arson. However, you know how those hippies out in Frisco are…any gas guzzling motorcycle off the road is a win. Perhaps the witnesses were actually crisis actors and the PD and FD set my bike on fire so they could use thousands of gallons of water to put it out to appease or corporate water overlords.

Automobiles are flammable. In other news  - water is wet, dogs are sometimes brown, and this thread is bullshit.

dogs ARE sometimes brown.

unless you are suggesting there is a massive worldwide cover up by the global cabal to paint dogs brown?

Edit - did some research and --- OMG! Holy shit! -  it all makes sense now! Its China! they're painting dogs brown to hide the ecological footprint from lithium mining so we have to drive EVs! SOmEoNe notify the wHitEhoUse!!!!
Problem is they are using lead based paint.
