Oh yes, did them more than once - and not by choice. at 70mph when idiot cager tried to run me off the road. I was told it's better to shift your weight forward to unload rear if that happens.

I've done a few and yeah its great but the time and dollars for changing tyres to regularly just isn't worth doing it too often

more fun when you're in second and burning rubber at 40+ mph!
I'm killing my stock tire, after the PV2 I can do some 2nd gear rollers no problem! It'll pretty much carry a burn out through second gear if you catch it right and WOT.

Okay...not trying to be a "buzz kill", but the damage you are doing to yer whole drive train is cumulative! Start at the compensator and work your way back to the primary chain then the clutch and all its parts and then the transmission and related bearings! Belt ****** can be a problem, not to mention your tire! Once you get it broke loose, it's not too hard on everything...it's the braking loose part that is stressful! If that is the way you want to enjoy your ride, and have deep pockets...then more (power) to you!

Everyone thinks that it is just tires or the drive belt, just like the OP. "The rubber parts..."
They will learn quickly enough about the "speed tax" as we used to call it. There is a reason dragsters have an engine rebuild after every race.
Tires are cheap. The rest of the drive train gets expensive fast. Sooner or later **** will start breaking and those things aren't cheap to fix.
The way he worded his first post tells me he probably hasn't had an engine disassembled on the bench before. He will get his opportunity...
I love guys like the OP. They are a blast to watch and the entertainment is free for me. Sometimes you even get see the bonus when something breaks or goes horribly wrong.
