    He would watch and tell you what you're doing wrong if you can't get it. We tried teaching my 9year old sister how to do donuts on her speedway bike last october.

    Drury tyres will let you burnout the last of your old tyre on their skid pad before they fit the new one..
    They took some good pics and vid of my last tyre.

    BE careful when its low! The steel bands can trash your rear end.
    Listen for the sound of them or get Mike etc to tell you when to stop.
    You can tape some cardboard over your number plate or in the danger area.
    Yep using oil to start is cheating. Best do it there where you can get some supervision if its your first go or at least get some practice first.
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    Agreed. I personally just don't get the fascination to be fair. I kinda like having my tread for cornering etc.

    Tiz a worn out tire anyway. But, yeah I dont see the point either. Each to their own.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

Only problem is that it's not fully fenced. Thoughts?
    You have to ask ???

    that is an easy question to answer. Girls can't do them.

    Haha, once you've done a decent burnout and spent the next year picking bits of rubber from areas on your bike where you didn't think it could or would go...you'd likely only do a burnout on a hack bike...but hey, each to their own

    I just can't do burnouts... Or rather i can't face the mess and damage to the bike... Its the curse of being your own mechanic and a bit fussy I suppose...

    Not my thing as I would feel sorry for my bike, but if you really want to do it that Drury place sounds perfect for it. It's not very far from you either. Or ask Chris. I'm sure he has done a few burn-outs in his time
