Super obnoxious. Not to mention his attire. Ugh, squids. > you know it doesnt generate virtually any heat? lol at this 😉 ---

I will say its good to get the shit off the tire though, if you rode through sand, some fluid, etc. I do it to get shit off the tire but I remember one of the track coaches saying that its a dangerous way to “warm up” your tires on a street with all the other stuff you leave yourself open to hit. He said that riding normally allows heat to spread through your tires just fine. ---

Ya it was some instructional video on YouTube during a classroom session at a track day. They got into the discussion of street riding and sticky tires and brought up warming the tires and the instructor said that riding straight lines and doing accelerating and braking is better than the weave and safer. ---

They are going on the stupid people’s intuition to post details of them beating the law. Typically its been idiots that have public details posted on forums or public pages but I am waiting for them to have enough evidence and actually subpoena a friend of their suspect for access to the pages details. ---
