No photos unfortunately, this was back in the 70's when I was a kid; inspired by nightime top fuel drag racing photos, I doused the back wheel of my muscle bike in lighter fluid, had it ignited, and took off at flank speed. After 50 feet or so, things began to feel a little warm back there, and I elected to dump the bike and dive in the opposite direction. This was at night with a crowd of onlookers; though I wasn't that impressed myself, the crowd loved it! Looking back, one of the highlights of my boring life, I suppose.
