Is this something you do for an extended period of time, say 10 seconds or maybe even more? It seems so scary to me! Really all I got my bike for was to wash it in the driveway at least twice a week while listening to a Motley Crew/Poison mix tape I made back in 85. I will occasionally go out and rev the engine really loud in the garage but it always seems to make me so dizzy after awhile with the doors closed. I think I might be doing it wrong.
Doing it wrong? No I think you're fine, it's what I do anyway! All my mix tapes melted in my right side saddlebag when I let the engine run to get the pipes to glow! I'm thinking about adding the Harley Boom box for like $1200, seems like I could use some updated tunes in my driveway anyway!

Hey not ALL of us have a hermaphroditically sealed envelope or whatever it is you just said, so we're just lucky to have the opportunity to put our driveways to good use! :P

I save all my use bike oil and use it in my lawn tractors. It gives them 30% more power. And that way I can where my doo-rag and fingerless gloves while mowing the lawn.

HOLY ****! That's a great idear, I can't wait to mow my lawn again! Now I gotta figure out which doo rag is the best and needs more time in the wind or more accurately, breeze.
