Frying an old tire in a new way

[MaximX]

It is a habit of mine to finish off an old rear tire with a burnout.  I have put some thought to this and drew up a device that will make more smoke and stabilize the bike as well.  It will be fabricated in time for spring I hope.  It will work on any flat surface with no damage to that surface.  Grass, sand, your dock at the lake....that is where a burnout can happen with this thing.  I also like videoing and taking pictures of such an event.  I would like some input as to what you people would think of it, so whoever says they want to try it out first will get a chance to try it for free.  Attached is a link to the old way I did it, next time there will be much more smoke if this thing works like I think it will.......I actually forgot to hold my breath and had to quit the last time I did it...haha.

    Nice burnout. You definitely have the right bike. Never be able to do that with a rocket 3! If your burnout box is portable mayhaps I could borrow it for the Hospice ride? Had a bike like yours briefly- fast little sucker!! Years ago, working at die hard hawgz we did a t.v. commercial where we put my Suzuki and my employers Harley nose to nose and lit them up till the tires blew. 30 second commercial with nothing but smoke and script running along the bottom of the screen. There were actually 8 minutes of raw footage (only have it on vhs) Made so much smoke someone called the fire department!! Now I like to do "rolling burns" and can lay a 100 feet of rubber. Couldn't even see your bike at the end of the vid!

Been trying to convince Jeff to build a set of starting rollers for bikes - certain reluctant-starting 500cc alky Jawas in particular come to mind - but so far this idea has not taken root.  If you are going to trouble yourself to build a stand, think about an added option of a set of free-rollers, on which a bike could be run through the gears stationary, or to which a car/truck or dedicated motor could be applied/attached... we wore out the entire attending membership trying to start Jeff's speedway bike at a meet in the fall of 2010, even pushing in shifts...

Yes it certainly will be designed to be portable and we can talk about the hospice ride, I am a charitable person by nature and would like to help in that possibly.

What I have in mind is quite simple.  A friend/former employer is going to build it for me when things slow down a bit for him.  Rollers would add a lot of complexity I had not planned on.  It is possible that they could be added later as an attachment, something I had not considered.  I can see how that could be useful to some people.
