    Thats why you don't let your Wife video it,"i told you it was a bad idea" for the rest of your marrige.Burnouts are easy to do,you just cann't hesitate,if you do it will pust the tire like in that video.Get it spinning and back off the throttle,no need to be on the limiter.I usually do it when i'm changing a tire,i've poped a few before and ite messy,good photo opp and what else can you use a worn out tire for,i actually turned the bike it that first picture so the smoke would blow over me.:smile:

    That statement surprises me Reg, I though it was kind of an unwritten rule when a rear tire is on it's last legs you light it up just to say goodbye...

    I guess another thing that worried me was the fact that we have linked brakes. It's funny, I haven't done a burnout but I have done a donut on the VFR. :)
