Was at Suck Bang and Blow in Myrtle Beach
(the old one and before the city became biker unfriendly) Enjoyed the pit every time. Watched a guy on a VRod blow the tire and kept it going on the rim. AHH gotta love alcohol. They basically had to carry the bike out of the pit he tore that sucker up good.
By far the best one I ever witnessed.
I have never done it but I have laid down quite a few very long patches in my years.
New tires last year so I will let them age a bit before I do it again. (even when egged on by friends)

I love a good burnout, I don't do them as much as I use to, but man do I love watching them be it a bike, car or anything with wheels.

I like watching stupid drunks! Now I'm going to **** most of you off. HDs rarely have enough power to do a burn out. They lock the front wheel down? WTF If you have real power you shouldn't even need to use your front brake. Real burn out is already moving and lighting the tire up, that's impressive
