No, the actual journey is more important than the destination in my view.

40 years of biking may make me an old codger, mate, but it also means that you have a long way to go to catch me up on experience.

I try not to...it wears the outer edges of my tyres down. Besides, I get scared if I lean over.

I've never heard such a load of old twaddle in all my (old codger's) biking life. Have you seen it taught in an advanced motorcyclists course? No, didn't think so. What you mean is it's all about getting a job in a circus. Very clever, possibly entertaining (debatable?), but totally pointless. Each to their own though. And I do understand the enthusiasm of testosterone fuelled youth.

Can you just go and do a burnout please, and take a photo for evidence.

DingDong has a ute. Or we could use the Retardus!

Nothing is worse for the handling of a sportsbike (any bike?) than rooted flat spotted read tyres. Even a little burnout roots your tyres, so imho a burnout on a tyre with life left is about the single most retarded thing you could do on a bike. But outside Cycletreads on Tuam st back in the day, oh yeah, seen some worn out tyres finished off in style there. Sure burnouts prematurely fuck every part of your drive train, but plenty of bikes end up wrecked well before that wear manifests itself in repair bills I'd wager, so it's not the end of the world
