I am not a lady. But, I did almost loop this one yesterday.
Its been a lot more responsive since I had the tps replaced. And I usually have to pull in the clutch, rev the piss out of it and then dump it for it to come up a few feet in second gear. Yesterday, I feathered the clutch, gave it a bit of gas and the instrument cluster almost left an indent in my forehead.. |

I did once on the baby Ninja by accident. I rode the whole rest of the way giggling then getting freaked out, then giggle, freak out, etc.
I have never done it on purpose, and have no desire to really. |

I have a buddy that did it...scared the bejeesus outta him as he wasnt expecting it!
I've never done it, I'd like to learn, just to have another bit of knowledge and some skill in control, but I dont want to hurt my bike. |

Throttle.
ETA: I really don't remember exactly how it happened. I was on a back road on the way home from work, so I thought I'd work on launching. I know I gassed it, started to let off the brake and clutch, then got nervous, grabbed clutch then let go of clutch too fast and there ya go. It's not impossible. I know several people who have done it. It maybe little, but it's no slouch. Last edited by HurricaneHeather; 06-17-2009 at 10:21 AM.. |
