Cover and bikes

No, one probably should find better cover than something which is mostly
petrol-filled tank. ;->=

[Tomb] You are presuming an ICE as a power source. Could be fuel cells
or batteries, probably less danger of explosion. Maybe gelpacks. Or solar. Who
knows... but it doesn't pay to make assumptions. Plus the way you dump it, you
tend to put the engine towards the enemy, not the gas tank.

It's also assuming that even if liquid fuel is being used that it's of a
gasoline type, and not -- say -- a binary fuel or something less
flammable. It also assumes that self sealing gas tanks aren't being used. I'd
imagine tracers could brew up a gas tank rather badly, but I think there are
ways of forming gas tanks to lessen the chance of brewing up.

Maybe some rules could be added for taking out the motorcycles with small arms
fire?
