| I've been present when it was done with an X9 500 but I think it's a stupid thing to do.

| I've been in a Christmas Parade where the guy on a Harley, in front of me, would stop his bike on a painted street line and smoke his rear tire like that. The crowd on the side of the street would run because they did not want to breath the smoke into their lungs, and I do not blame them. The Harley rider thought it was cool...I thought the guy was an idiot. |

| I try to take care of my Swing, I hope it out lasts me and I have no plans of going over to the bone yard any time soon. And no I wouldn't nor do I think its a good thing to do unless you have more money than brains, even then it's a shame to treat a good machine like that. Craig  |

Did you notice that he carefully placed the rear wheel on a puddle of something before the real stupidness started? |

| They use different types of oil to make it smoke, in some of the videos I've seen them pouring olive oil on the ground and tire. Also helps keep the tire from gripping the ground. Craig |

| Seems like a waste of tire rubber. (Like they don't wear out fast enough all ready.) But, I suppose if doing that makes him feel the way he needs to feel, then good for him. |
