Still waiting for p.dath to offer up the formula for getting the angles right.

Be careful what you wish for.

Tyres are a super specialised science. I'm with The Stranger on this one. For normal road use just ride your bike. I don't think the tyres require a special scrub in procedure for road use.

ROFL. I think i wee'd a little too.

Please tell me this is a piss take. Please.
JUST RIDE THE FUCKEN THING!

Classic! I also like the one with the guy on his brand new Gixxer and all the Suzuki gear, rides off from the dealer shop and gets spat off 20 metres later!

Ahhh yes. Motorcyclists and video recorders... endless opportunities for total humiliation.

Some pretty good advice in this thread.....

I used to call my chicken strip "Life lines" when I first started...All my mates who used to give me shit about them,funnily enough have all binned at least one of their bikes over the years. As for me touch wood, Never.

I don't have chicken ....I mean "life Lines" anymore not that I have tried to conciencously work of getting rid of them.
Over time, as said early as your confidence grows and techinques improve the "life Lines" slowly became a thing of past.

I'm no more reckless then when I started.

Until then be assured that the "life lines" mean your upright !!!

Safe riding !!!

And this is how I loose mine....off the seat, knee tucked in so I can lean further, to ensure all the chicken strip is well and truely gone.

Good article; bit of wtf with the second comment down on that page though
Isn't that whats sposed to happen, lean off the bike to preserve ground clearance to the solid bits, and keep bike upright as possible to ensure good suspension action?

Removing chicken strips and grinding the pegs are easier to do with poor technique than proper technique, so who's really the novice here?

Well said. Too much emphasis these days on removing the strips. Really can corner without doing the big lean if ya do it right.
