Want a pointless waste of rubber......
In terms of improving riding skills, learn how to release the front brake will help the rear tyre...

Winker probably nicked it. The place looks rough enough.

You can do that on a CX, but you have to put the disc lock on the front first...

Dunno my mate did it on a Kerry Capitano moped and disc locks weren't invented then.

The guy looks like a mechanic, so it's probably some unsuspecting customers bike.

The rolling burnout was unintentional - the divvy's brakes just wouldn't hold it.

well after some greatful and much needed assistance (big thanks to GM and JJ) my 600 now has on the front sintered pads and braided hose and boy does that make a difference to stopping.

A job well done. Satisfying innit :-)
Its funny though, the 600S I used have was the facelifted model with standard pipe and single disc. I'm sure it would fade badly with heavy use, but it was progressive acting and could squeal the tyre at 30.
Guess its all about maintenance & TLC.
