It only seems fitting that the DragonFly would sport this. Where's Dave?!

[DaveDragon]

Dez, we here in the Positive Latitudes have enjoyed these pyrotechnics for years now.
It's known as the Krystal (or White Castle) effect.http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif
Kinda rough on the saddle thoughhttp://www.bmwlt.com/forums/images/icons/icon11.gif
Joe: It would make a great way to get the tailgaters to back off http://totalmotorcycle.com/BBS/images/smiles/flame_smilie.gif

The web site says it's "for off-road use only". Right.... I guess that means our GS-riding brethren will be the only ones who can use this product.

In any event: what would you do off-road with it -- cook hot dogs? Roast marsh mallows? Start forest fires? :eek:

[Toolman]

I'm sure this isn't news to anybody, but most of these kits are clearly tagged for "Off-Road Use Only". This is highly illegal on the street...at least in most areas. I know lots of lids started putting them on their "pimped-out" rides around hre....and the law enforcement officers just love 'em. Easy pickin's for 'em.....like shooting fish in a barrel!

[alindsay]

S'Mores heck! With the exhaust tip turned down on the stock pipe you will probably end up toasting your rear tire. :eek:

[dshealey]

Now that is one of the absolute dumbest things for sale I have seen in a LONG time. Just wait until someone's dog, or worse child, gets burned. Of course they state the normal (won't help in court) "for off road use only". Well, that could burn down forests.

It works by killing the ignition for a short time with the engine running to send unburnt fuel down the exhaust system, where it is ignited by a spark plug in the exhaust end. Just great for catalytic converters, and will sometimes explode inside the exhaust system. People were doing this exact same thing in the 1950s, using old Model A ford coils and spark plugs. (of course, being a kid then, I thought it was neat). I knew of at least two people who had their mufflers split open when the flame spread forward in the exhaust system.

[RonKMiller]

Sounds like fun.

But one of their products that I could really use is one of these, no doubt for off road use as well: 007 ain't got nuttin' on me.

Check you local laws.

WHAT DAVID SHEALEY SAID!!!!!!!!

And my older dingbat brother drilled a hole in his muffler to be able to introduce used oil into it (obviously, after some time running the vehicle). He would open a valve to a reservoir inside the vehicle and allow oil to flow into the muffler...copious amounts of smoke erupted out the rear of the vehicle! Once activated, the rear view was obliterated. The local Gestapo in ND took a dim view of his prank!

David, now you know I love you, but... as long as cancer sticks are available they've got this baby beat hands down.

Hurry up and get moved, get a bike, and remember what its like to be just a "leetle" bad... :) :)

[jzeiler]

Ditto on what David said.

I remember the kid up the street (before I was old enough to drive) do the key off -key on trick to induce a backfire and not only explode the muffler but drop the drive shaft on his parents car righ in front of my house!

Side-shooting flamethrowers are "relatively" common in VIP cars in some third-world countries. Mounted beneath the car, they spread a pretty good flame near the B pillar, about a foot or two off the ground. They are meant to repel boarders -- bad guys trying to carjack you. That would roast your marshmallows! :eek:

I can see a made-up plate for use in areas with red light cameras. Something with a "personal message" to the LEO who reviews the pictures and issues the ticket (sorry guys, just humor here...). :D I think I'll stick with the spray-on stuff that scrambles the flash, making the plate unreadable. :cool:

[meese]

Start forest fires? :eek:I can see it now. The camera pans across a serene forest scene, nothing but little animals playing and birds chirping. A deep voice comes on that says "Only You can prevent . . ." when it is suddenly interrupted by an ear-splitting twin-cylinder roar, and two flames shoot across the screen. As the bike roars away still belching fire, we see a bear wearing a ranger's hat and lit up like a torch running off into the distance and screaming. The AutoLöc logo flashes on screen, and an announcer rapidly says "For off-road use only. No animal was harmed in the making of this product. Always drive responsibly and respect nature. S'mores not included."

[ratorino2004]

Stupid? you bet but just think of the expression on the PITA behind you who likes to ride a foot from and stop an inch from you rear fender....

[messenger13]

but... as long as cancer sticks are available they've got this baby beat hands down. That is the best argument I've read in quite some time. Way to go Steve! :thumb:

Now, that's funny!

[ksailor]

LOL LOL LOL!!!!! Coffee through the nose.. choke on the... I love it!! The thought of being able to go back to my childhood is appealing. Used to blow the pipes out on my '56 Ford turning the key off/on down the main street in town. What great memories. Always lived in the mountains where Mother Nature comforts folks too dumb to care for themselves... Like me!

Ole' Smokey never bothered us in the woods. No can catch us on the back roads. I love Ken's screen shot! "and they call him the streek.."

Imagine nitrus ignitor; tanks on the side of the LT. Flames for a MILE!! :D :D

Not the MaMa.. Not the MaMa.. Gotta Love me!!!

Just kids having fun!!! No harm intended.

[meese]

Sometimes these things just come to me, and sometimes they find a way out. :eek: :D
