A burnout

My best friend Paul and his brother Will sure know how to piss off the neighbors!

Nothing would have happened.
Those guys are skilled riders, with a combined 45 yrs plus riding experience.

Burn outs are great! The first time that I tried it on my 7R, the bike almost went sideways.

Since then I got better at it, but eats the tire way too much. Yes, it creatse lotsa smoke which will for sure piss off your neighbours :-)

All three sets of tires were due for a replacement, so why not have some fun before the new ones go on?

Sounds logical to me Chip! A buddy did that too on his Yami R6 to the point that it ripped to shreds. The only problem was that he did it away from home and he had no way of coming back. He had to get it towed back LOL.

BTW, were you the one behind the vid cam?

Hmmm. That's their idea of fun, huh? Seems to me it would have been more fun to go out for a ride, instead of just smoking up the driveway.

But to each his own, I guess.

Seems a bit immature and inconsiderate.

LOL
Some people think that paying more than 100 bucks for a watch is insane!
Like you said. To each his own.

I for one love a good burnout.
