I think your wheels are out of alignment because you keep crashing your bike...

if stunters can dance around on their tanks then i'm guessing hands free riding is possible. just a wild guess.

You have a picture of a guy standing on his pegs and you can't deduce the position needed to let go of your handle bars??? Verm, just go out and do it, you'll either find out your capable, or you'll be posting here to tell us of your latest tragedy... "Not stolen, just broken to bits..."

No worries, it's easy to do the victory pose on your shattered, rashed bike after it went sparking through a corner faster than you slid through it.

those of you who mentioned the engine braking thing, you can overcome this at lower speeds by shifting into a higher gear and choking the engine. not exactly great for the bike, but it works and it will keep you moving at slower speeds. on my ninja 250 i can put her in 6 and choke it up, when i do this it will run at about 30-35 for as long as i want. of course its not a good idea, but...

next item of business, where can i get a throttle lock? im serious there <--- i do want to find a throttle lock.

went joy riding tonight... i practiced other stuff too but they're off topic...

i tried to let go of the bars but still covering it. i only let it go for a short sec but the bike still felt stable. im scared to let it go more.

anyway... i'll try it more when i find a 100% flat pavement w/ no debris.

OK, you've got the bike covered. Now where're you going to get a beater body?
