Just don't let it grab traction while you're doing it...

Burt's wrong, Harley ain't the only bike that'll do a reverse burnout. My Ural sidecar rig can do it. Without falling down, too!

I'm a little torn.

Personally, if i had your bike, I wouldn't do it.

BUT. I would love to see YOU do it, just so i could see you do a reverse burnout at next year's meetup.

I guess if you can't make it go forward any faster then the next thing is to make it go in reverse faster.
