    Check the rear brake.
    Will the rear tire move when the bike is in neutral?

    I haven't tried it but the piece that you put the drive shaft in does move in neutral

    You probably fried your clutch.

    After the burnout did the chicks come a-running? :roll:
    Or was there just a bunch of dudes telling how gnarly it was? :oops:

    Sorry couldn't resist - however your saving grace(s) are - you admitted you were being dumb AND you came here for answers.

    I second the idea of a visual on your rear brake - don't just turn the tire - take it off and look.

    Well, what did the smoke smell like? Oil? Clutch?

    haha you know those chicks came running and tripping over there panties because of it haha no but for real some dick in a Honda rice burner came up talking crap. it smelt like rubber smoke that's why I thought I was burning out again and a little like oil but I was thinking its because my valve cover gasket is ripped is why I smelt oil and also would the tire spin if it was the back break

    No, if back brakes fried wheel will not turn at all if it did lock up then likely drive gear in trans wouldve snapped with a abrupt stop like it would've caused, likely the clutch if that didnt happen. Next ti.e you entertain a thought like that, gosmoke some legal weed ofcourse nothing illegal ;)save lots of money good luck.
