I have never heard of anyone doing that with a bike. We did do it with a 77 Nova with a '60 something 283. Sure did make the car come alive!

ive heard many different opinions on this, i usually run it in my bike at the track, but ive heard some people say that bikes run better when they are hot. (not too hot) but with the race gas which is high octane and leaded, that it burns cooler, so therefore they said it wasnt as good. ive ran my fastest time at the track running it, but i dont honestly have a answer for this q.

a group of us did it once awhile ago, we were just riding around the mountains, didn't notice anything, but the bikes in front of me, the fumes were burning my eyes.
