Pretty cool but I have enough trouble keeping rubber on the back of my bike. No burnouts for me.

Its not like we do this every single time we go out... this is Tommy's 2nd burnout in the 2 yrs he has owned the bike! its ok to do once and a while, not burning any clutch just burning some rubber... just some good old fashion petrol fun!

I for one can't afford to be doing such things but it is always fun to watch someone else do it.
During the bike events in Daytona at the Iron Horse they have a burn out pit.
It is great fun to watch the bike destroyers in the burn out pit from above on the catwalk burn the tires until the blow and shred to pieces, this gets the crowds all worked up. They than take there bikes out to the front where a fellow is all set up to sell and install new rear tires, good little scam I think and big time fun to watch.
I have pictures put away on a disc and will search them out.
Oh yes sells lots of beer for the Iron Horse, if you have never been there during a bike event than get there, FUN!

First time I took my bike out for a spin, I did a burn out and it scared the living crap outta me because I wasn't expecting it. *** end slid toward my friend who was on his bike next to me. Not that it scares me, but honestly, tires are too damn expensive to be doing burn outs. Maybe when I'm close to buying a new one i'll throw some bleach on it and smoke out the neighborhood or something, but that wont be for some time..
