Not sure there are many members here ever thought about that.
But if you did, what would you have accomplished?
Please explain why you would want to smoke the tire on a big heavy shaft-driven ride, I'm curious.

I know that would be last damn tire I gave him.

Well you're right about that Jimmy. I'm softhearted but I'm not stupid.

My frugal buddies and I used to joke that "their dad owns a tire shop" when we'd see someone smoking their tires. These things just go away too quick to even think about it.
Well, maybe not for you Darksiders.

Would you need to disable the atni dive valve to by pass the linked breaks when your trying to hold the bike with the front break? With my 29" inseam I can't get my weight off the bike so I will not try. Most of vids I've seen the rider is flat footed and butt off the seat.

No. I didn't like it. If I give you something of my own free will you can do any stupid thing you want. I would like to see him be more responsible. His daddy didn't teach him well. He's a great mechanic and a good boy. I'm trying to teach him what his daddy didn't.

Good on you.
He is a lucky kid, with opportunities.

I got on my bike pretty good yesterday and the rear tire started spinning as the bike fish tailed a lil bit. Does that count? . Caught me by surprise, as I was going in a straight line, getting on an on ramp. There was some roadside construction going on, so who knows what was on the road.
Shooter, sux about the younger guy smoking up a good tire. He'll learn one way or another!

Anybody ever try smoking the rear tire on this thing? I did a few burnouts on the VTX quite easily. I assume it would go straight once you got it spinning and let off the front brake? Just checking before I try it. I would hate a high side toss on this thing so I am asking.

,,I have not,, My buddy and I were going to get his tire changed-out at a tire store,, so we pulled behind this store, and he drove UP-TO a curb,, and started doing the longest burn-out I've seen,, we than went across the street to get the tire changed, when he got off the bike, and opened the trunk, smoke came-out.

LP , spinning while moving is allowed. I mean what's all that power for if you can't show off a little bit. Hey dude , I'm shipping your windshield tonight.

I'd just like to know about it before the tire decides to start spinning. Only about 200 miles on the bike, so perhaps the tires are still slick. :dunno

That's great about the windshield. I'll let ya know when it comes in. I promise not to smoke it off...
