In the event that something dreadful happen, that bike might go up like a meteorite. I suppoze a rider isn't generally still on a bike after a crash..but, thought I'd mention.
I once had a friend who put it in his car. Upon impact, he, three other friends, and the car immediately perished in a very hot fire. The rims were nothing but smallish molten blobs.
When mixed with air in the right proportions, one cup of gasoline has the explosive capability of 5lbs. of dynamite:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GasolineI spent a lot of time on the 'Net trying to find out if there is a difference in flammability or volatility between AV gas and automobile gasoline, but I found nothing. However, when a cup of gasoline correctly mixed with air has the explosive capability of 5lbs. of dynamite, does it really matter if AV gas is more flammable?
