just curious, is there a trick to getting the back tire broke loose? seems like the times i've tried to do it the bike just wants to surge forward and push through the front brake pressure. what am i doing wrong from a stop?

You have to commit, more gas, drop the clutch.

The back of Ms B's new T-shirt today reminded me of this thread.
A Bikers Prayer
As I lay rubber down the street
I pray for traction I can keep
But if I spin and begin to slide
Please dear God save my sweet hide

Reading this thread has fed the immature 18 year old with a lead foot that still lives in me somewhere. I'm going to have to tell him we enjoy riding more than replacing clutches and tires. I try to keep him happy by wringing it out every so often on a good straight stretch or out of a corner. Oh wait...,yea he still wants a rolling burnout. Damn

Most all local drag strips have a regular Test n Tune day. Ohio Valley near Ft Knox on Wed & Fri. Dunno about Clay City on the Mtn Pky. For $10 you can practice your launch and folks are real good about teaching you the right way to dump and go.

I must have the wrong bike. I have a 08 FXDC and if I am parked in oil or sand I might get the tire to spin. Other than that this is the slowest most under powered bike I have ever owned. It is all stock except slip ons. What mods are you guys doing to get any power out of these?.
