'05 R3 w/Aerocharger turbo
1) Apply front brake
2) Apply throttle
3) Release clutch and find the throttle sweet spot... no need to over-rev
4) Enjoy the smell and sight of burning rubber!
5) Replace tire with Bridgestone Exedra Max

It's at the Triumph dealer now. Believe it or not they actually had the cheapest price around for mount and balance... $23.

And just for fun (since I'm at it) a couple of more:

Front end repair
5001.jpg


Solo seat and tail bag

Is it OK to say I just keep lovin' this bike more and more?

PLEASE give me the dope on that tail bag mounting rack!!!
 
I remember one time when my rego was posted on the internet just after I'd been riding sensibly down street, not over revving my engine, and a vacuum cleaner bag full of dust exploded under my rear tyre too!

I'm actually staring more in awe of those firmly planted feet in that first pic than anything else. That's it! I'm moving to Russia to do that thing where they break your legs over and over again and use a brace pinned to your bones to force them to heal across a small gap to make you taller. Then I can do the cool burnout, too!
 
Ditto on the rack, very interested. Please give full info when you get a chance.
Also, exactly which shifter do you have directly mounted to the shift rod?

You could just wear platform shoes too; cheaper and less panful, just sayin'...
