Ok, when you say "yawn inducer" do you mean things like revving the crap out of a new demo bike? :stick

Reving the crap out of a new demo bike? :laugh That's why man invented rev limiters. :bolt

Once you get a chance to do it yourself you'll giggle like a banshee.

I bet you'll will find is as exciting as I did. Much more so than posturing on some internet forum. :bottle

there has to be a point? other than you being old and crotchety and far removed from your younger hooligan days?

You don't get out much anymore do you. :stick

I was playing hooligan with a S1000RR, what three weeks ago.

Like sunrise it happens first in New England. :p

Put it on ice. Pownal, Vermont has a great track!
 
I did burnouts when I was a teenager. My dad paid for my tires in those days....

Did you yawn when your dealer, Max, did it a while back on a GS?

No it was priceless.

Rather than do it out back he rode his GS down to the Harley dealer that was having a big party with a burn out pit. :deal

That tire was a knobbie and he pretty much closed the party, Just imagine how much rubber you can burn when you're burning the knobs off af TKC. :laugh

I mean really everyone expects the S1000RR to be a tire smoking machine but take a GS to a Harley dealer and close the show?

That's panache. :bow

I see. And is it panache putting spikes all over your tires if you're just going to go up and down in a straight line then attempt three burnouts in front of the camera? I'm referring to the latest max video.

okay, i'm done busting your balls. the key point is that you should embrace all things moto, rather than just those things that you think are cool or done by people you think are cool. be tolerant. open your mind and heart and harken back to the days of your youth when everything bike-related was cool. Okay?

Thanks.

Your friend,

I win. :drink


I think we can all agree that the S1000RR is an awesome machine, whether clipping apexes, burning tires, or riding on ice. There are four tanks on the bike: gas, oil, coolant, and testosterone.

thanks for playing, rob.

fish out.

You're cute when you're being silly. :stick

Let's see, embrace all things moto..

I'll get right on it this weekend.

Putting spikes on a new superbike and taking it out on the ice is the kind of thing I don't see any other dealer having the stones to try. The video you saw was first attempt, wait a week after some adjustments and you'll see plenty of turns.

Anyone can unbox a bike and do smoky burnout behind the barn. Surely you can agree that part of embracing all things moto might lead to burnout on yet another burnout. :D

Kinda like yet another trip to bike week. How many times do you need to take a week of your moto vacation time to see chrome and g-strings? I don't begrudge anyone the experience; it's something everyone should do at least once, more if you like it. Move on when you get bored.

I used to go to Bike Week when I thought burnouts were exciting.

Isn't it?

This has been fun but I'm off to go racing down south.

Nothing like a little racing on a bike I've never ridden; I bet my butt will "embrace" the seat a few times. :laugh

Fish, this has been fun. Let's continue to compare videos next week.

Enjoy your popcorn, you're ready for the superbowl early.
