Back firing can be cool, some people have made it into an art..engine cut-off switch off, rev throttle, turn cut-off back on release clutch with bike now rolling in gear..KA-BLAM!!! Not that I have ever done that though.

I wouldn't think of doing it now (older and wiser?) but I used to ride with a few Hooligans.? You could be cruising along next thing you know someone has passed you and hit the kill switch, if you just flipped the switch back on you would get a nice backfire and flame out of the pipe (espcially?a Vance & Hines).? A Vulcan 1500 had the best backfire.? Like they say what goes around comes around, I've caught?my boys doing burnouts and donuts with their dirt bikes and wasn't to happy. ? I had to work this past Saturday and brought the boys and their XR100's (with street tires) so they could ride in the parking lot while I was working.? It was raining when they started riding and they took it easy for a while, then it quit raining and as the pavement started to dry the speeds increased.? The corners were the last to dry and they had some good slides about the time mom showed up to check on them.? We
have a flat track in the back yard and they're getting pretty good at sliding through the corners but mom won't watch.? We're going on vacation next week and will see some of my old buddies and they will likely talk about the old days (70mph wheelies and such), just hope the boys don't hear.? James Franklin wrote:

Uh....somebody told me about it, they said something about it could actually blow a baffle out...but this is all second hand information of course.

My chum used to be a bit of a back fire king, using the cut out
switch on his Triumph 6T. That was, until one backfire launched his baffles down the high street like a mortar bomb....

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI had a 441 Victor Special, with a compression release valve
from a 2 stroke installed in the left side of the cylinder head. The valve is
controlled by a small lever on the bars, and does not mechanically interfere
with any head parts or the piston. (used this instead of the valve lifter for
starting).
?
So, with the freedom to use it at any time while the engine
was running or not, you could (and I did) open this at speed, cracking the
throttle wide open and enjoying the 4 feet of flame and racket coming from the
left side. The blue-hairs at stoplights noticed it too.? ;^)

Works a treat on ould Landrovers as well, we used to have a bit of crack cruising past the local army barracks, turned the ignition off, pumped the accelerator a few times, then flicked the ignition....kaaa boooom, followed by the radio net lighting up......Contact, contact...sunray sunray, we're taking incoming fire, over....in a panicky English accent....daren't have tried it when the Jocks or the Paras were in residence though.....
