Aye, I had one of those last year, just put the rear tyre back on
the trusty stead with a brand new 207. Sure enough a couple of
hours later I was leaving the apartment, as it was fully warm I
though I would show a few people what an angry Ninja can do.
Got a bit more than I had barganed for, I am guess that my a$$ was
about a foot off the seat after I broke in the right side of the
rubber. All I can think of that saved me is that I kept the throttle
on so the tire did not get grib to abruptly and the presence of
mind to keep the front whel in the direction I wanted to go without
applying the death grip.
