Further inquiries have revealed that the motorcycle with the vacuum on the exhaust started as revving was heard, then the devastating explosion occurred. The motorcycle operator actually survived the blast but suffered burns and hearing loss.

There are rumors that neighbors have reported the man to local mental health authorities because of this strange behavior in previous weeks, but calls to those authorities have not been returned at news time. More at 11.
I heard he died instantly the next day.

Cause of death was a massive drug overdose as many has expected. The bike is reported salvageable while the surrounding homes are a total loss.

Shut the gas off, drain the carb bowl, let in fresh gas and it will start right up. Next time you park it run the gas out before you shut it off. 100% satisfaction guarantee.
