So today the bike got another rear tire. But before i removed it figured might as well have some fun. Made lots of smoke dug a hole in the asphalt, bumped it into second gear and Weeeeee!......

Yeah had my fun rolled it inside put it on the stands and.... Fuck... What a mess, wires, tire chunks, tire goooo, the smell, and the line it made all the way up the drive way. So swept the street, scrubbed the driveway, removed wheel, cut the wires, wiped the bike down, peeled what i could off, then tried scrubbing my plate, that was just a disaster, after my half ass clean up job, pants had black, hands were black and the SMELL! Yeah wasnt worth the hassle coulda gone worse. Pretty sure i have rubber in places i never wanted. I would really recommend against doing this regardless of how "cool" you think you look. Chances are you look just as lame as i do.
 
Me and my buddies always used to "burn off" our old tires. Not something I do anymore. The licence plate was always the hardest to get clean. Glad I learned a few things before I got my Buell. But I gotta admit, it was fun. I would do it it I didn't have to clean it myself lol.
 
Next time, use blue painter's tape on the underside of the bike and you'll be able to peel it off, rubber and all.
 
Just use some PAM on the back end and it will wipe right off. But I also don't really recommend it either.
 
Not to mention you had to plant your front tire against the curb to do and it was pictured....
 
yeah learned not to do burn-offs anymore. i knew it was matter of time before some one said something about the damn curb.
