A little back story first. I had the bike for 5 or 6 months when I'm leaving the bank to go back to my office and notice a nail in my rear tire! I haven't had a nail in one of my Jeep tires in years. It actually worked in my favor since I had the tire and wheel insurance and seemed to be burning through my stock tire sooner than I have seen others on the site. They ended up swapping the stock 120 for the stock 130 that comes on the ninja 500. I left the dealership to go fill her with gas. When I finished at the gas station and started to head out into traffic a car was nice enough to let me out. I got a little over zealous with my lean/throttle control on a slick new tire. Long story short I can say without question that the little Ninja CAN drift! Thus she was dubbed Lucy.
