Did anyone catch the fire Colin Edwards had on his GP bike? Apparently the gas cap wasn't secure, and gas sloshed out of the tank onto him and the engine, and poof! One nice thing about a bike, you can just hop off if you, say, find yourself on fire  

Fortunately, he wasn't seriously hurt.

Ironically, he wasn't the only one who's bike caught on fire.

Loris Capirossi had his Ducati catch on fire too.
