Guest Ken8143 Posted January 5, 2009 #53 Posted January 5, 2009 OK - now here is the ultimate burn out.... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzC6yU6DhkY]YouTube - arab bike drift[/ame]
flb_78 Posted January 5, 2009 #54 Posted January 5, 2009 AH, burnout till the tire comes apart...ok... Usually, that's done when the tire is almost shot anyways and they're about to mount a new one. It's just for shiggles.
Yammer Dan Posted January 5, 2009 #55 Posted January 5, 2009 Ok guys, let's have a burn out contest at Asheville down by the lilly pond. I just hope wet grass will work. RandyA I think I'll pass on this one Randy. 900 lbs kicking sideways on this leg of mine might not be pretty.
tmodel Posted January 5, 2009 #56 Posted January 5, 2009 Well Yama Mama, I guess it is each to their own. I personally don't understand pulling my bike into some sort of blocks just to rev the engine high, burn the wheels and abuse my engine and tranny. I have invested thousands in the purchase.. and have many thousands of miles yet to ride it! What I do understand is the freedom and the exhilaration I feel while sharing the back road riding experience with my bride. I vividly remember what it was like to have to wait to own a bike of this quality so that I could share the experience with her. I have lived long enough to know that it is not the giant accomplishments in life that mean the most. Instead, it is all the small ones that combine to form the core of our best memories. Maybe for some, the scream of the engine combined with the tire smoke might be part of that. For me, it is the rumble of the engine down some forgotten 2 lane road. And since I'm not particular fond of breaking down, I'll treat her very nicely .... and only run her up to 90 in 3rd gear once in a while!!!!
Yama Mama Posted January 5, 2009 Author #57 Posted January 5, 2009 Thank you TModel. That is basically what I was trying to say. Thank you again. Yama Mama

Dragonslayer Posted January 5, 2009 #60 Posted January 5, 2009 I've often wondered myself what the attraction was. Since a rear tire change out is usually over two hundred Dollars and I am worried about getting the most possible miles out of a tire, I don't get it either. I will make these observations though, amongst those friends that get into doing burnouts that I know I've noticed this. They always seem to be the the meglamaniace maccho types that get into this wastefull display. They seem to have more money than sense or want people to believe they do. The women that I've seen do it all had large breast in a small bikini top and at sometime during the burnout find an opportunity to flash thier large breast to the surrounding crowd. The men that do it are often the type that thinks head butting is a contest of the fittist instead of an example of the moronic. Both the men and women that do it don't mind smelling like burnt rubber. Go figure. .
Yama Mama Posted January 6, 2009 Author #61 Posted January 6, 2009 Thank you Bob, I appreciate your opinion on this. Yama Mama:big-grin-emoticon:
Terry Richardson Posted January 6, 2009 #62 Posted January 6, 2009 Yeah.... I gotta go with a Tim Taylor grunt on this one. Makes no sense..but...its the power and testosterone.
Guest tx2sturgis Posted January 6, 2009 #63 Posted January 6, 2009 Its just a matter of simple mathematics. Beer + Testosterone = Burnouts. One of the videos I put on youtube a couple of years ago features a guy doing a burnout on a Boss Hoss. I think it was the first video on youtube of that. Anyway, it got lots of viewings.
