Cold day only 56 degrees sitting at a left turn light and before I new it I was locking up the front brake and giving it a lot of gas letting the clutch

out and smoking the rear tire. Had a pretty good cloud of smoke going.  Cages were looking like they never saw this before.

Light turned green sat back down in the seat and off I went. Looking in the mirrors all the way down the block for a cop to come after me.

 By the way a CT gets really sticky when there hot

Nice! On a cautious note.... I did see a belt break once at a bike night from doing a burn out... Probably an old belt.?

People look at you so funny when you smoke the rear tire. Had a guy tell me he didn't know a big bike would do that.

I think it's way cooler to pop the front wheel off the ground, which the Vision can do. Any drunkin' harley rider can spoke a tire, but I wonder how many stock harley's can pop the front wheel?

 What gear(s) on the vision?

when it has happened it's been second gear, very distinct, yet unintended.

I shit canned my Vision in the parade many times in the Fall Ride at Tomahawk, it never gave me any front tire lift but sure was a one handed throttle roll on king. I will try and see if I can make this happen for next year. Practice makes perfect as they say!

Ride hard, ride fast but above all ride safe and free...

Took mine off the ground by complete accident, didn't even know I did it until the front touched down. Scared the hell out of me. Tried several times with my Kingpin never got it done.
