I've chirped mine a couple of times, it was right after i put the 14" open
element in and it was about 50 degrees out, it chirped em pretty good going
into second quite a few times when i was trying, this is on dry pavement in
a straight line too. But now that its warm out I haven't been able to do it
again...
