LOL, now that is funny!

Let me tell you guys, I just turned 50 and don't consider myself even close to being a "geezer".

After I put on my V & H big radius 2 into 1, SE air and had it fully tuned, I can easily do a burnout from a 5-10mph roll.

Just take off in 1st gear, once up to about 10mph, just crank the gas and the rear wheel will "burn out".

I sure hope I never get old enough to ask "why would you want to". Might as well buy a trailer at that point.

I don't and if I woudl I would wait until I would have to replace the tires anyway and then do it, but then I usually forget it and end up not doing it

Dude. That IS ME in the sigpic below. You did see it didn't you? Does it look like I bought an image at an HD dealer? I have been called lots of things in the past....."Billy Bad Azz Biker" isn't one of them. For Christ's sake I DONT EVEN HAVE A TATOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might not have understood... I'll type slow. Burnouts are adolescent nonsense in my opinion. But I will defend your right to waste money...if that's what you want to do. I find humor in the question, and the detailed explanations on "How to"......I'm easily amused.

Have a great day.

Any puss can do a brake stand but a strapper takes talent. While going 15mph or so rip the throttle and dump the clutch and if you don't wreck, you just did a strapper. When you really get good at it, you can do a 2 gear strapper and lay down 100 feet or so...

+1! I've finally reached the age at which I'm perfectly content to watch others do such stupid things!

So if what you're saying is correct, the man in the video just took about 45,000 miles off of the life of his tire?

...common sense will dictate that your statement is implausible.
