Doing a massive backfire to impress young lads
 

I'm not very good at wheelies and stoppies, but when I'm riding the Buell I notice that if I hold it at about 4000rpm in first gear and then quickly hit the kill switch whilst opening the throttle, I can make the bike produce the most massive backfire - and a jet of flame about 5 metres long from the exhaust.

If I did this in a town centre, would it impress fit young boys - and particularly the delicious Guy Owen - or just make them rush home to get Mummy to wash their underthings?

(I did try this in Tonbridge Wells a short while back. Alas, I only managed to incinerate a small West Highland Terrier that was on the pavement, whilst bending the offside strut of its owner's zimmer frame. I believe it has an adverse effect on pacemakers within a 200 meter radius too, but no-one has yet complained of that....although since they were likely to be dead, I suppose they wouldn't, would they?)

:lol: :cry: i really dunno :roll:

a 5mtr long flame out your rear would impress me :wink:

James! You naughty boy!!! :oops: :oops: :oops: You may be 55 but there's obviously still some life left in you....if, perhaps, not enough for me.

Camilla,

May I suggest that if you wish to impress young lads like Guy, that you get yourself down to Total Fitness where I believe Guy is attempting to make his bike go faster. I am sure the sight of you in your lycra will give him all the incentive he needs.
