It's called "darkside", mounting a car tire on the rear wheel of a 2-wheel vehicle.

In slow motion, on a rainy 5th Avenue, I saw a guy lock the front wheel on a brand new pure gold Glide. In slo-mo...the bike hit the ground, broke his winshield and after he kicked the bike...he couldnt pick it up. His girlfriend tried to help...couldnt pick it up. Finally...about 3 hells Angels came over and lifted the bike up for him. Me...on my CB160...knew at that moment...never get anything you cant lift. I never did.
