Harley Davidson Ride Name: C. Suddes E-mail: (withheld by request)            In retrospect, lighting the match was my mistake. But I was only trying to retrieve my son's rat.            My son left the cage door open so his rat, Harold, escaped into the garage. As usual, it looked for a good place to hide and ran up the exhaust pipe of my Harley Davidson. I tried to retrieve Harold by offering him food attached to a string, but he wouldn't come out, so I peered into the pipe and struck a match, thinking the light might attract him.            The doctor explained ... "The match ignited a pocket of residual gas and a flame shot out the Harley's pipe igniting your mustache and severely burning your face. It also set fire to the pet rat's fur and whiskers which, in turn, ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the exhaust pipe which propelled the rodent out like a cannonball."            I suffered second-degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the pet rat. My son was grounded for 6 weeks and never found Harold.
