I think even with my 205/60 rear car tire that i could manage
to break the rear tire loose on some spilled drink.

That was some kinda lame backward attempt.
Thanks for sharing though.

Just solidifies for me why I'd never want that kind of weak-ass
V-twinkie. A C-109 maybe.

When I got my Mini Cooper, I ordered it with limited slip front differential, an option that you can't "see".

To show me that had indeed been installed, when I went to pick it up, they got two Minis, mine, and one without LSD.

They sprayed down the parking lot.

We got in the other Mini, and "peeled out", and it fishtailed (if that's what you call it when it's front wheel drive)...

Mine peeled out straight as an arrow...  cooldude

they are... I think the switches are to lock the muffler bearings for more power.

Electric Compression Releases.

Once started the Harley runs normally, compression releases are then closed.

It helps it start.

Does not burn the starter up.

A lot of thumper dirt bikes had them to release compression to help the kick starter(PERSON) not get

 thrown

over the handle bars.

Rather painful. If I spent that much money on ANYTHING I'd have more respect for it.
 Heck, in 1973 I had a 1965(?) 160 Honda that I got for fifty dollars and respected it more than that clown. Why'd the guy waste his beer behind the tire? This has PUTZ PARTY written all over it.
