Question: do you carry an extinguisher as part of your equipment when on a ride?

Personally, I have never understood the whole fire extinguisher safety equipment requirement. Unless I am in my kitchen cooking and a minor fire occurs, I am OUT OF THERE, and taking everyone else with me.

If a fire occurs in a situation such as a snowmobile, car or even a boat that is much above a smoldering mess, it's time to beat feet. Be safe and let the professionals put it out. As was said above, that is what insurance if for.
