I've only done 2 burnout's on the busa,I waited untill the tire was almost gone.Tire's are too much $$$$$ to be wastin.The only time I drank and rode the busa was when I had 2 beers after work,drove my truck home,ate dinner and it was almost 4 hr's later,I don't think I would even have one and hop right on her.I put too much time into her and value my time with cindy and everyone else on my life.And really don't want to hurt any innocent by standers or some other riders wife in her minivan with there kids.Have fun keep it safe.
How many drinks had you had before this pic?answer:
look at the pavement...it all "Graded" to drain...i had enough common sense and experience that i knew there was only one level place to control the rear wheel whislt spinning...at the bottom...near the drain...and it just happened to be wet there...here's an older "Non-Wet" pic for you...
i.e.: it wasn't like i "needed the water"
haha, just kidding dude.
Looks like you had a great time! It was funny reading this thread. I kept reading after your first post, just to see how long it took for the preachers to come out.
well folks...i knew when i posted the truth of my evening (along with the pix) that i'd catch some flack...which is cool...cause i know it's just ya'll show'in a brother some love and concern...i also know that "going out for a few with the boys" on a bike...any bike...is rarely (if ever) a good idea...which is why i rarely do so...but on my own behalf...(so ya'll don't think me a complete blithering alcoholic idiot)...i would like to bring a few Geographic & Demographic points of interest to light...for those who may not take them into account...
Demograhic Points:
Point #1: The guys who encouraged and invited me to meet up with them are HD cruiser types from my machine shop...my day-in/day-out co-workers...
Point #2: A taxicab could've beat them there and beat them home..they are slow rollers...stereotypical Tavern-Too-Tavern racers at best...he11...the quickest one of'em was on a chopped-out honda 750 FOUR...it wasn't like we were scraffinf corners. but his highly customized 750 chopper was indeed sweet...for what it was..lotsa heart & soul in that one.
Point #3: This is nothing i'd of ever done if hanging with a sportbike crew that evening...and had i been roll'in with a sportbike crew?...i'd of probably had one diet pepsi..took a quick glance at the bikes and girls and?...left for home within 30 minutes of arriving.
Geographic Points:
Point #1: This is south freaking florida...there are no challenges on the road...no elevation changes or hills and just corners to turn..no curves to ride...i could have a frontal labotomy and make it home just fine.
Pont #2: Our local every week thursday night bike night is held in old downtown fort pierce...they cordon off the entire street...live bands are playing...every bar is open and there are beer vendors on every corner selling tubs of iced down longnecks and the only ones the LEO's are looking to jack are "Staggerers & Wobblers"...it's a different world...and that note?...brings me too...
Point #3: It's "Bike Week"...there's a reason they hold it in daytona south florida...cause if they held it in...oh say...the deals gap area?...1/2 of'em would be crashed or dead within a few daze. it's a party event in a party kinda town...completely different atmosphere in a land of dead flat roads and the only curves you'll encounter belong to the women who own them.
now...that said?...i could never completely justify drinking and riding as a good idea...cause it's not...but since this is the first year in 9 years that i won't be attending bike week?...this was like ferris buellers (1) wild night out for me...sumpt'in i indulge in maybe 1-2 evenings a year...just to "show" with my buds at work...and i choose my spot and time well when i do...a big event...at a small joint...close to home.
Now in the mountains?...at the bash and rallys i go to?...i'd NEVER dream of having so much as a single beer abd tossing my leg over O-Ren...if i indulge in anything?...it's because i'm well fed...parked for the night...and sitt'in 'round a campfire at Phillips Motel.
and just for the record?...even if it wasn't the mountains...even just a nominally curvy/hilly area?...i'd never dream of indulging like i did the other evening..where i had exactly 2 corners to "turn" to get myself and O-Ren back home safely...also?...this is Orens 3rd burnout since i've owned her...reason?...i needed to wear down the rear a bit to justify getting new tires before the spring bash...so i had a 'lil extra to burn.
Hope ya'll don't think too ill of me and?..as always?...L8R, Bill.

thank you for your support Mr. B!booozer....
besides, if the airline pilot that took me to Daytona had drinks before takeoff, I should too..
So check your body wieght,then count actual drinks consumed according to chart.You drank three doubles then did some riding on your busa?

Procced with extreme caution.
yeah...thanks...i'm fairly certain i already have it but if ya don't mind?...pm it to me for just in case...Thanks!

My donation to the tire burning thread:
I go through rear tire fast enough without doing burnouts, so no big smokey pics from me.
Helpful Hint For Burn-Out Pix:
You don't shred tires with lotsa good tread/miles left on'em...you man the camera and smoke off the baldy tires you're fixing to replace soon.
so in essence?...if you've ever replaced at least one rear skin?....there is no good excuse for NOT having at least one good pic of yourself twist'in off a big smokey on yer busa!
Lame Dennis..very lame...get with the program dude!

SINCE THE LATE 70s MY BUDS AND I DEVELOPED A TOP GEAR STYLE OF BURN OUT AT THE DRAG STRIP AND THE HABIT HAS NOT GONE AWAY . I SNICK THE BIKE INTO 6th ON THE WAY TO THE WATER POOL AND WAIT FOR THE NOD ,THEN IT IS INSTANT SMOKE AND LOTS OF IT AS THE SPEEDO GOES TO 210 MPH ON MY 2000 BUSS .I LET GO OF THE BREAK AND SMOKE IT TO THE START LINE .THIS IS ON A 7inch SLICK. I AM THE ONLY ONE AT MY DRAG STRIP THAT STILL DOES THE 6th GEAR BURN OUTS . THEY ARE QUIT SIMPLE AFTER YOU GET USED TO IT AND A REAL CROWD PLEASER. IF YOU DO ONE IN A PARKING LOT MAKE SURE YOU PUT DOWN A LITTLE WATER (BEER WILL WORK TOO). AS SOON AS MY KID SHOWES ME HOW TO PUT UP SOME PICTURES AND VIDIOS I WILL DO SO.
