"What makes you so sure I haven't?"
Well, I guess I was really more PO'd at the person you were responding to, who was advocating something almost certain to cause serious injuries or death to a rider. Your suggestion, while still unacceptable in my mind, would most likely just result in a broken bike, although a sudden complete blowout of a front tire at speed could certainly cause a crash that could result in injury.
And yeah, I'm a firm believer in "Less sound equals more ground" for dirt bikes. For street bikes the insistence of some idiots to run pipes that are way too loud, and to ride in such a way that maximizes the noise, is already starting to affect the rights of riders to ride their machines on some public roads and many gated communities. No reasonable person could object to the sound that my bike makes. Sure, I like the sound of deep, throaty pipes, whether on a cruiser, sport bike, or even on cars, but I'm mature enough to realize that not everyone shares my enthusiasm for such things, any more than I appreciate those droopy-drawed bling-bling boys in their rice-boy cars with 1000 watt stereo systems and fart-cans.
Not apt to pop a front tire, it's the spinning of the powered tire against a static saw blade that cuts into the tread. This would happen if the bike is essentially motionless with respect to the ground, a much less dangerous situation than boinging! off a saran wrap barrier.
I gave Capriole a significantly safer alternative, in the hopes that if he/she actually does do something the consequences won't include someone getting killed or worse.
Although I do confess that the thought of a biker who made "children and hikers jump into the bushes to avoid being hit" having to push his bike back past them gives me some pleasure...
