Your kind of going over the top about this, don't you think? "Bomb" "explosion" etc. etc. etc.

It was a fuel leak. It's no longer leaking. The fuel that did leak, has been cleaned and evaporated. Call SFPD parking and make a vehicle abatement complaint, they'll put a 72 hour notice on it and it'll be gone before you know it.

Or don't do anything and wait, knowing SF it will be towed soon anyway. No matter what you do, try to relax on the hyperbole. It aint a bomb, it's a motorcycle that used to have a fuel leak. :lol

Wait you forgot to mention Hazard I said hazard as well.
I know how gas reacts when ignited amongst a tight pack of 12 other bikes scooters. Pice of paper wrapped around a faulty fuel line= not safe of leak proof.
Geez, I posted pictures and everything.
Anyway good tip on the abatement, you might have led with that instead. Thanks.

Just get a gas can and drain the remaining fuel into it. Problem solved.

This. Free gas is always a bonus.

Or, since you have the plate number, you could call MotoJava and tell them that the owner of the bike with that plate might wants a heads up. I bet, since MotoJava's plate frame is on the bike, they have the 411 on the owner.

Does the guy with the old Kawi with the heads wrapped in chicken wire still park there? I always got a kick out of that bike.

Man I am sorry to say this but you sound like a super pussy. Are you seriously afraid of the bike? Is it really going to detonate and take out your house? Have you ever seen a bike catch on fire before cause its not like the movies. If you are so afraid of it go out there and drain the tank like a man. This is such a non issue in the life of SF.

Worried about a leaking motorcycle tank while the next block over has hookers, dealers and muggers. :laughing

Yeah total pussy, don't know why the Firemen in that big ass truck even showed up.(?) Just a pool of gas leaking out into the street.
Don't they have better things to do?

Look like bike was towed, I hope to get word to the owner: surprise, while you were away, your bike sprung a leak and the FD had to come out, now its at auto return on &th. Bummer.

Boo fucking hoo. It's just gas, more of a concern that it's going into the sewer than it leveling your neighborhood.

The firemen in their "big ass truck" have to show up whenever anyone calls for so much as a broken fingernail, and believe me it does happen. Your concern is noted and is not a very big deal. Chill out.
