Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 CANAM SPYDER ROADSTER AND IT STARTED ON FIRE - I GOT OFF JUST IN TIME AND BLUE FLAMES WERE COMING UP FROM THE TANK/ SEAT AREA. THE BIKE WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY VS. A BACK ROAD THIS COULD HAVE ENDED WITH INJURIES. THE SPYDER HAD BEEN MAINTAINED PERFECTLY. *TR
