In my other forum .we ware talking about how to warm up you tires for the curves.and a guy told us that , weaving back and forth This is an unsafe way to test your tires cold grip which could land you on your head. and with a passenger none the less. You need to read more and study how a tire is designed to work.
I have seen many people weave back and forth just wondering what would be the proper way of warming you tires up with out doing a burnout

In this article it says that The next myth we see perpetuated nearly every time we watch the warm-up lap to a race. Riders begin weaving back and forth in apparent attempt to scuff the tread surface (which we've already discounted) and generate heat. The reality is that, according to every tire engineer that I've asked, there are far more effective ways of generating heat in a tire that are also much safer. Rather than weaving back and forth-which does little in the way of generating heat but does put you at risk asking for cornering grip from tires before they're up to temperature-you're far better off using strong acceleration and braking forces, and using them while upright, not leaned over! Acceleration and braking forces impart far more flex to the tire carcass, which is what generates the heat that then transfers to the tread compound as well (you often see Formula 1 cars weaving violently back and forth because automobile tires operate on a horizontal plane, so they have and use significant sidewall flex to generate heat).
