Chicken Strips and Bluetooth-compatible headset

As Brett says, there are a lot of variables, and keeping within the tread profile is certainly safer. You can feel the bike get more nervous etc, as you drop off the main tread area of the tyre.

If you're riding to get rid of them, or worried about what others think of your strips... you have bigger issues!

This is true.

I'd rather slow down a bit more for the corners and speed on the straights than the other way around personally. I have just as much fun with the added advantage of not becoming a piece of scenery...

Does this not defeat the purpose of having a sports motorcycle?

It depends on how you think of 'purpose'... I like how a fully faired sports bike looks and I find the riding position easy enough, so why not?

didnt the colonel used to phone you up when you had the hondah and offer to sprinkle you with his special sauce? or was that a conversation i overheard between you and DUMTED?

I'm not sure why tyres are considered a reflection of the ability of the rider.

They could be riding someone else's bike, a bike they've just bought, a bike with new tyres or any number of other reasons to explain the "chicken strips" that have nothing to do with getting their knee down.

It seems like a comparison by street riders who can't (or don't want to) compare lap times.
