Motorcycle destroyed by piece of paper

You would not believe that a piece of paper could destroy a motorcycle but one biker has learned that it can.

Somehow a piece of paper got lodged into the frame of a motorcycle and was ignited by the heat of the engine. Unfortunely for the biker that owned the motorcycle, he was riding the bike when the fire started. Luckliy for him, a fellow biker saw the flames and told him he was on fire.

While it is not known how the paper got lodged in the bike, it is something to be aware of when inspecting your bike before you start your ride. This fire could have been started from the biker running over a newspaper or flyer laying on the street and having it sucked up into the frame/wheel area of the bike.
