Crucial or crock?

[Maha]

That slow speed slalom thing that some bikers do?
Not on the racetrack, but on any normal road.

[hospitalfood]

i do it to get mud off, so it is probably crock

In what context?

[Bonez]

You mean the wiggle down main street to warm the tyres thing Maha?

Apparently yes....

[Nagash]

I just do it for fun... Sounds quite lame when you think about it properly but I choose not to.


Though I swear this has been brought up before, and it was finally agreed upon by the majority that it didn't actually do much for warming your tyres up and was really just more fun then actually productive.

Keeps me amused for a few seconds.

You go for a ride with ya mates, one or two will apply this function to thier ride routine.

+1... Work the arms a bit and practice counter steering on a boring piece of road.

So what if it looks stupid. I wouldn't say it's crucial but it certainly isn't crock.

Slightly off topic, but it is.

But the Vmax i'm looking at is better..

Great for scrubbing new tyres and helps when you live right next to a good set of twisties to get a little warmth into your tyres before you start giving it some.

Another take on the idea, interesting, when most would do it to help with the 'tyre warming' process, which surely wouldn't help a great deal unless they are already warm and by doing it, you retain some heat?
