Burnout
 
Pulled into my drive tonight and got an overwhelming urge.
So I stood up, pulled the front brake, opened the throttle, released the the clutch and smoked the rear tyre (only for a couple of seconds). :oops: :oops:

How many miles have I just taken off the back tyre ? :oops:

Depends how long you held it. Just getting it spun up won't take more than a couple of hundred, I would have thought.

Not very many... You need to really overdo it to make a massive difference. That's why I have my whipping tyre :)

That's always my last hurrah when I've gotta get new tires... "Putting on a new one? Let's smoke off the old one..." I don't blow them, though, and it's always in front of the bike shop (and the owner comes out to take pics)...
