====What is a "burn out"?====

Stand on the ground while squeezing the front brake and pressing down on the handlebars with as much weight as you can. Rev it to 8-10k and "dump" the clutch while at the same time twisting the throttle wide open.

Stand on the ground while squeezing the front brake and pressing down on the handlebars with as much weight as you can. Rev it to 8-10k and "dump" the clutch while at the same time twisting the throttle wide open (see photo above).

There you go; start with the rear wheel on wet asphalt to make it even easier. Have fun wasting your back tire if you choose. You may try it yourself a few times out of curiousity, but you'll quickly realize there is no skill involved in a burnout. A trained monkey can learn to do one. Since it is such a easy act anyone can perform, most motorcyclists that see another will quicky lose respect for that individual unless they see a truckload of rear tires behind him with a sign that says "free to use today only".
