:yikes: You're probably not really going to want to 'grip the tank with your knees/thighs' on that one, are you!! :shocked:

And looking at the fire-box below that, you're probably not gonna wanta hang onto that with your lower legs & feet, either!! pps: You might not choose to ride in shorts ever again, too.... and asbestos thigh high boots might become an important part of your riding apparel! nojoke

Hmm, after the introduction & build up in your first sentence, that 2nd Bold bit is not exactly where my mind went for a video subject!! :yikes:

Altho I guess that juuust might provide a bit more of an insight about me than it probably should?? pps:

Still, it'd be a phenomenal sight, wouldn't it?! hyea: Maybe not too much fun for the rider, but very impressive regardless! :thumbup: Even if it didn't go bang! :2thumbs:

Expect a lot of down time at the dealership when the boiler tubes need to be replaced.

Huge burnout (down to 6'' by now) followed by catastrophic haemorrhage and a return to relight.:roflblack:
