When I have a nail in a tyre, I remove it and plug the hole with my puncture repair kit.

Burnouts we does anywhere.

Very nice Spidy.

However your still lacking sound quality, particulate volume and volumetric motion.

Grab the front brake as hard as you can, body weight on the handlebars, rev up. I usually slip the clutch to make sure it's spinning the tire instead of launching me to the next county ; )

With 4 fingers on the front brake, you kinda have to roll the throttle with your thumb/palm...I have big paws, so that helps : )

I'm not sure I'm up for this task yet...I can easily see how you'd let off the brake a little too easily as you're trying to roll on the throttle and POW, right in the kisser.

Ok, so once you get it rolling and smokin, do you let go of the brake or keep on it?

Practice just off of a wall in order to get used to the brake. That way if you can't hold it you won't roll to far and out of control. I did this after the wife was done filming. I still need more practice.

Let go of the brake and you get a rolling burn. You can modulate the brake and walk the bike around.

Some where long ago I posted a picture of the Big Kid smoking the tire on the yellow Blast. It was taken moments before the tire blew and caught pavement launching him skyward.

That was the coolest part.

The wall was only used because it was there. Never needed one with my S2 (or any other Buell that I turned a back tire over on). Plan was simple. I needed a new back tire. The shop down the road from the biker bar in town had a tire in stock. Had a friend from work pick up the stand and tools I'd need and follow me to the biker bar. Burn off old back tire, remove wheel from bike, have friend drive me to bike shop, get tire installed, friend takes me back so I can reinstall the back wheel, then go inside for an Icehouse to celebrate.
Crappy old film pics scanned years ago.

S2 burn


S2 burn 2


S2 burn 3


S2 burnt and popped


Not tall enough to do this with the XT-BOLT...
