Anyone else making short life of the back tire by taking off from stoplights with the back sqealing like crazy. My buddy is starting to think I have some sort of disorder, but man I love that righteous sound. 8)

HA, There ya go! I can hear the conversation with the wife "Honey I need a new tire , the stock one wore already. It must have been some cheap rubber, you know how that factory stuff is."

no front brake, unless your heating up a tire for drag racing. Just rev up and let the clutch out fast, she will take care of the rest. Might take a little practice but it definitely turns heads.

I've been doing a little tire-squeeling on mine, as well. I was going to give the neighbor (a big harley guy) a little demonstration a few weeks ago, and when I let off the clutch, the **** front tire came about 2 feet off the ground!!! Scared the living be-geesus out of me, too!! It felt like more than 2ft to me, but he said it wasn't! That's from a stock Stryker, with my 190lb butt and half-full bags, on my county road/driveway. Never had that happen at a stop light, thank goodness!! I have to agree with you, LEON, it's friggin' awesome!!

Lol, right on brother, I guess its all fun and games until you wheelie your stryker and **** your pants. lol
I don't care who you are...that's just **** funny! Thanks for the laugh.

I think us bigger guys might have an issue with the front end wanting to lift...but the surface your on make a big difference...be safe and have fun..that's how I see it...nothing wrong with a bit of hard play.
