Let's see, trade my nice, quick, nimble bike for an armored tank. Nah. But, that flames out the sides thing looks interesting.
Side story:
All motorcycles have a kill switch on the handlebar, and on older carb bikes the switch killed the ignition only.
So, back in the day, if I was being tailgated, I'd go on and off the gas, and look at the side of the bike as if something was wrong with the engine. About half of the tailgaters would back off at that point. Those that didn't got a special treat.
With the engine spinning at decent revs, hit the kill switch, and open the throttle a good bit. The engine, still being driven by the driveline, is still a fine air pump, and carbs do what they do regardless of ignition position. So, that air pump would fill the entire exhaust system with a nice fully combustible fuel/air mixture.
Flick the kill switch back on, and KA-BOOM, a sound somewhere between small arms fire and a cannon shot depending on the pipe. And, a nice 5ft flame out the back for good meaure. Especially interesting at night.
Tailgaters would almost lock'em'up and would stay waaaay back after that...
Sadly, my BMW is fuel injected, and the kill switch kills the fuel injectors as well.
