I do it, but not to warm my tyres up but it just makes me feel more comfortable/familiar with the bike before I have a hoon.

Oh an Hong.
Being a hooligan is awesome fun!! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!!

yeah same, just get that added reassurance that you do have the grip there, plus do it out of boredom as well.

I do like a hoon, but I AM still a new rider, do I tend to back off as soon as I feel out of my comfort zone. Especially today, roundabouts are only damp but feels like they have slick all over them!

I just feel like people are too quick to judge me/my mates through what I say on here. Given people will always form their own opinions but feeling patronized is never nice eh.

Not a fan of the nanny state, we are all adults, and we can make our own decisions on what is safe/dangerous/right/wrong/etc.

Tally ho.

Totally agree with you. Unfortunately some people believe their own opinions are gospel rather than a subjective statement. Don't dwell on it though. I'm sure there are better riders out there but there sure are are some worse ones.

I personally think you seem like a good bloke hongman.
I don't think you're a hooligan at all after reading your wheelie thread. You weren't endangering anyone else so just have fun and make sure you don't get caught
