A
Bomb In Your Saddlebag
My
guess is that about half of the motorcycles on the road that have
luggage compartments are carrying a highly inflammable if not
outright explosive 'tool' somewhere in those bags.
Not
black powder. Not gasoline. Not plastique.
It's
usually called WD-40!
This
is a wonder product of amazingly useful application. It is also
prone to turning into a fireball when exposed to spark or fire or
a lit cigarette.
The
manufacturer, I'm told, has recently begun packaging WD-40 using
one of two different propellants - one of them remains hydrocarbon
based and highly flammable, the other is not. You need to read the
package closely to find out which one you have in your saddlebags,
but the vast majority are the more flammable variety.
