Yep and not until it blows and screws up your sheet metal.

It is called the "peacock syndrome". Look at me, I can make more noise and spend more money then the idiot next to me.

I never understood it either. I just don't see the point in playing with the little layer of rubber that has to carry me hundreds of miles home again.

On the other hand, if your tire is ready to be replaced, it's your own bike and ya just wanna go nuts cause it's fun ... well, then ... be my guest ... Fill yer boots!

Funny thing is, ya don't often see guys going out to a private parking lot with no one else around and just doing it cause it's fun ... What seems to make it the most fun is that it's a crowd pleaser .... Seems to me, they like the attention more than the actual smoke show.

IMHO
