BUrnouts and donuts

With my rear tyre been change on friday, I fancy a burnout and maybe a donut, whilst videoing. I can imagine how to do a simple burnout, but is there a particular technique that I should adopt in attempting a donut??

You need a good front break mate :biggrin Not one covered in fork oil :exclamation

I have faith and a sense of humour!

You'll need more than faith Stefano, more like a Paramedic on standby!!! LOL

Master the burnout then when you've spun up the rear wheel and the bike goes light lean it to the left slightly and it'll swing the rear to the right.

Practice by keeping your left leg on the floor first and seeing if your comfortable with that, once your happy then off you go!!!

Can I have a copy of the video too, this is gonna be fun!!

do it with your old tire don't ever do it with a new tire with good threads unless you melt the heck out of that rubber first! If you want to practice use both of your feet on the ground while applying the brake firmly and use the clutch don't let go off it! you can flip that bike and catapult yourself and the bike with good tires if you **** up! I always use old tires to burn out! or wet your tires and a spot on the asphalt or do it in dirt with good tires.
I'm not a donut pro but I know that it's not a good idea to do it with new tires specially when you don't warm them up. Why don't you put sissie wheels through the middle stand hole and you can save yourself a big hassle incase things don't go well. and you can practice as much as you want without worrying about dropping the bike. oh one more thing I used to lean forward like offroading to put my weight on the bars while standing on my old SV650 well I haven't tried that on my Mille yet. I know that with that fat end of old mille it helps a lot when you put your weight on the front just don't make sure you are ready to shift your weight on your legs incase things don't go well! I know the new mille feels a lot lighter to me almost like a bicycle! That's great! or is it me?


my two cents

For tips watch Mad Max!

Dude dude dude..... WHERE AND WHEN? My rear is toast too!! I can show ya. Its easier than it looks too. The faster that rear is spinning the better (gyro motion) 3rd gear at least

I am off for few weeks so lets do this man! yeeeeee haaaarrr:doug

Is this Af1Racing? I thought this was Rsvzone.......strange........!!

Friday morning, 9.15 am. Hastings seafront. WIth the deep blue sea in the background. I used to moonlight as a photographer. As most of you have noticed, my Mille not only did it have knackered seals and rear disk, also a bold rear. So on my way to the garage to do the seals and rear tyre, I'll make sure that my rear burn out, I'll try it anyway...

Dude I am there. I cant blow mine completly as I need to ride back to Maidstone on the motorway... Will there be any one else to take the odd pictue? As both of us doing rings would look way cool.

hahaha this is going to be worth seeing - we demand pics:thumbup

Hey Flick, it's the seafront car park west of the Pier, opposite a church. The pics will be on my mobile, which will be the same quality as the pic I posted on the sunday rideout. I will PM my mobile number, so you can get in contact in case you get lost.
2 donuts:thumbup, cool!
BTW: will the Old bill take a dim view??

erm yup





but only if they see ya irate

Hey Flick, you could always get your rear done, that would be your rear tyre, while I am having mine, then we can scrub them in together. Just call me and let me know which brand and model you need, and they can get almost any tyre in next day...

Er, Stef, hate to dampen your outlaw spirit but are you sure Friday morning, 9.15 am, Hastings seafront is quite the best venue for your first doughnut? I'm just thinking of all those old biddies in their bath chairs being bowled over by your flailing rear end (OK, your bike's flailing rear end) and Concerned of Tunbridge Wells taking your number.
Trust me, John Q. Law will take a very dim view of such antics and will, at the very least, nick you for a bald rear tyre even just riding to the tyre shop, if not more serious offences.
Might be better to find a deserted supermarket car park at midnight for your first lesson. Just a thought and still want to see those pics!

Dude I am riding to north London straight after, as I am off to Ally Pally show. Where I normally get cheap rubber. Unless your shop down there can fit 2CT pair for £215 :dunno

Also.... boring but true. A303 has a point. Two Mille's doing burnouts together. :scared
I would say 10 mins tops then the fuzz will be on us!
So get some velcro for your plate dude.

I have not got a baffle in my Devil can and its rather loud too...

hehe scrub them together just watch out for the pigs where there are donuts there are pigs around. lol I tried to get firedeparments attention with my smoking pipe yesterday all I got way my friends coughing behind me while he was checking what was wrong with my bike. lol we definately need to see some pix folks please take one while scrubbing your tires together with a nice background of that beautiful sea, sun, sails, seaguls and some smooke and melting rubber! lol. I ravished my tire until I saw seven steel belts not too long ago. I think that was a sing From God to stop being so mean to my tire since the tire became as thin as 99 cents condom when I checked it for inspection at the tire shop. lol post pic please!

Well, anyone fancy a run down to Hastings to see this?

Just after this pic the tyre blew, wrapped around the swingarm which wrecked the chain and blew my clutch basket...

Hey, give them a call on 01424 225224 and they are called Phoenix Mtorcycles. I think £215 is the price they normally quote me for the pair, and don't forget to mention my name, they may even know a few quid off.
As far as the baffle goes, is your Devil can as loud as an Akra?
10 minutes and then off to another spot!!
