lucked out big

Well last night we had some decent weather. It finally stopped raining. So I decided to go stunting. Well I just about looped a highchair. I got it up nice and high (I've never been able to hit bp in a highchair) It was really high and i was scared so i gave it a lil more throttle then suddenly it felt like I was gunna fall backwards! I pulled in the clutch and leaned as far forward as I could, I was going about 80 kp/h and the bike was still falling backwards with the cltuch pulled in. I thought I was going over for sure. Then I thought if I popped the clutch it would create enough friction or something to bring me down. It did I do not know why or how I managed to save it but I did. After that I had to much andrenaline to stunt anymore. Man was that ever a sick feeling can't wait to go out and try that again. This is on a 600rr by the way with stock gearing.

Re: lucked out big

yeah I guess that would be a highchair coaster. Never thought of that. More excited that I didnt wreck. I am not interested in scraping yet I like my underseat exhaust as it is I have scratched it once already. I have no idea how close I was to scraping. So is that the proper way to bring it back is pull in the clutch and pop it out? that be neat if I naturally knew to do that.

no the proper way not to loop a hc is to keep the rpms higher so u have the engine brake to save ur ***. i like to keep mine about btwn 10 and 12 grand.

Re: lucked out big

So glad I didn`t loop it thought it was over for shure. Havn`t looped a wheelie yet. . . hopefully won`t for a while either. So do you guys ride your highchairs at bp? if so how do oyu control height without a handbrake is it allthrottle? Or is there something that I am missing?  Now that I have done it once Iwant to keep going.

Re: lucked out big
