No, its possible! Graham, keep on trying! I did it recently in a 750 Suzuki (bye-bye baby <sob!>). I reached an altitude of about 10 feet, but unfrotunately lost my bike somewhere on the way up. The trick is to come to Joburg and try to drive amongst the taxis. Sooner or later one of them is going to swerve in front of you and you are gonna klap straight into it. After the initial thump you have a few seconds of beautiful silent gliding flight before you exercise a perfect 3-point gear-up landing and then have to start worrying about getting hit by a car in the road.
Its possible. I would keep trying.
