I like to light up a burnout every once in a while... I think it's fun. I don't think it's very hard on the bike and the common folk find it exciting. If you got cash for tires and/or need a new one anyway, I say burn out to your heart's content.

I don't do burnouts much at all anymore because I don't feel like replacing rubber any more often than I have to but I don't really have a problem with it. If that's what you want to do...go for it...I'll watch.

And I was expecting a blown motor or some other sort of fail

Wait, you guys are telling me you just throw those old tires away when you replace them? Please...

I just bought two sets of new PP 2CT's...maybe I'll lite up the old ones...that's different. I have no desire to lite up good rubber on the bikes these days...cost too much plus it's a pain to change out the wheels/tires to take somewhere to get them mounted.
It's also boating season and that hobby dips into the wallet a bit too. The Vette tires get spun up now and then...can't help it with the torque that thing has. |

Was that a line of oil or coolant leaking beneath that RC after the second burnout or was I just seeing things. Sign me up for the sees no need for doing burn outs on bikes but I like to watch and make fun, or if they are good, applaud.

Pretty sure that was rubber from the still hot and gooey rear tire as he rode away.
