I do this all the time. Got a newsflash for you. That Propane Tank can
take a harder hit and still keep on ticking than you or your bike can. If
you get nailed hard enough to explode the tank you won't be around anyway
due to the instant death from the impact. Okay, you will be poast toasties
as well but I don't think you will mind after that.
