From the 2014 Dakar. A pity but it could've been far, far worse.

That reminds of a time about 15 years ago when my son's JR50 caught on fire while he was riding it I had to literally "pluck" him off the bike as he rode passed me

Bummer, I briefly met him at the innagural Baja Rally in September

My buddy Mike Gaynor (Wrk2srf), who I sometimes ride/stay with up in Oakhurst/Bass Lake, is there crewing for those guys: http://freedomrallyracing.com/michael/

Hmmm...fire at the back of the bike. LiPo battery???

Auxillary tank on the rear fender. Maybe the exhaust was too close,or the tank cracked.
