Default Antenna Turned Upside Down

I saw a guy (on a street glide) who had his antenna turned upside down, Pointing down on his bike. Said it worked real well.
Anyone else do this? and does it work?

maybe he was listening to a chinese radio station.

But seriously as long as the signal is good it will work, weaker signals would require higher and longer antennas to capture.

Do you mean that he looped it by bending it over back into his bike, or that he physically removed it and then installed it upside dow??
