You could always flip up your face shield and yell "VROOOM, VROOOM"

You're asking in the wrong forum if you want answers for stunting.

This really can't be a serious question, surely. I mean, seriously, why would anyone ever want to do that

Okay. When you squeeze the clutch, you disengage power to the engine... the bike SLOWS DOWN!!

After you rev the engine, you've got to EEEEEEase out the lever again, to keep the bike from "jumping" (You should have learned this in the BRC, right?) When you let out the clutch lever, you should have downshifted to match engine speed to your new road speed. Oh, wait, bet you didn't take the Basic Riders Course, huh?

I'm trying to figure out why you'd want to do this in the first place. Just a bit of idiot showmanship, not serious riding skill, that's for sure.

Don't bother letting out the clutch easy.

Clutch in and rev it up good so your buddies can hear it. Then, just dump the clutch without letting off the throttle. That's the easiest way to get going again.
