NC700 Burnout

I don't know why someone would actually do it on this bike, but I stumbled across this.

I don't know why someone would do it to any bike or tire.

What a Idiot ! I can only imagine in a short time you will see this bike for sale -- advertised as a Like new, gently used barely broken in NC for sale -- and some more soul will buy it thinking they found the diamond in the rough.

The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

Must have been photoshopped!
Authoritative sources* have told me that the bike has no power, and, without dual front rotors, far too weak of brakes for this kind of nonsense.

Then again I've also read that the stock tires have no grip, so maybe a combination of no power and no grip allows for video's like the one above...


*some guy who saw me in a parking lot and stopped to let me know.

A smooth manhole covered with water ... let's see it on a dry asphalt/concrete surface.

I don't know why someone would do this on any bike, but when I've asked, they usually say the tire was about done anyway [shrug].

I saw the aftermath after somebody did this on a vRod. I don't know what damage it would (did) do to the drivetrain, but the remains of the melted rubber were ALL over the place. It would have taken a half day just to clean it up.

When I asked why someone would do such a thing, the response was that it was a combination of testosterone, youth, and not-insignificant quantities of alcohol.

Probably just finishing off a worn out tire.....

there is no skill in this, just a waste of tyre, fuel, and film time.

Of course then there is the opportunity to catch that hot rubber on fire. Watch this video at 1:20 in. Many more on YouTube.

I did it for about 2 seconds on a worn out tire.

Yep.

Its actually kind of funny. Only because he is an idiot. LOL. I love it.

Finally, a good use for "colors" and the little water and sand drops would make a firefighter proud.

Bear Gryll's would be proud. Another way to start a lifesaving fire.

what is the point of doing a burn out??

It turns testosterone into carbon dioxide...

Dang you beat me with a "testosterone" reply.

That's why I bought a new bike this time.
