Practice makes perfect

[twistedmax]

I've been practicing my "take offs":biglaugh: Ive gotten it down pretty good! I can either launch it with very little tire spin(10 15 ft) or get stupid with it and short shift it in first and keep it spinning though second and into third, the last burn out was 250 ft. Im practicing burnouts around corners too:clapping:.

Cool looks like your having fun !

Yup!:biglaugh: it was fun a couple weeks ago when I rode with my brothers HD Bagger group, I told the guy riding "sweep" not to worry if he saw my tire smoking and it looked like I was losing control, I was just having fun!:rofl_200: He kinda chuckkled.........................at first, He wasnt laughing when we made the first stop. He asked how much Hp and Tq it made?:clapping:

I got the video of a Max up against the wall at Boxenstopp while he finishes his rear tire. With so much smoke and noise, he does not realized the tire blew minutes ago and the cords have been slinging around destroying his fender and textile bags end wrapping the frayed belts around the differential. Quite entertaining really...

What is a short shift?

yup, means shifting before reaching optimum rpm.

Actually the best way to save fuel :biglaugh:

..but not all that much fun! It's very kind on your motor/tranny/tires etc though.
