Strips to be proud of

[MSTRS:Me]

Yes, I am the godly chicken strip person!!! I don't even think I was leaning it around corners.....

Looking at that piccy....you weren't.

[bugjuice]

want some ranch to go with those strips?

[Waylander]

Is it sad that a guy on a cruiser has smaller ones? Hmm... Gonna have to take a more twisty way up later today to scrup the last few bits away now...

[Sparky Bills]

Found 'em!

COME ON MATE!!!
Get those pegs down!!!!!!

Shiesh that's a shocker!

Well.. think about how much faster you have yet to go on that bike, suppose that is a good thing.

For one second I thaught white trash had posted this thread and I was like 'wtf'... oh pisstaking dover or something.

[jrandom]

haha. nice.

go for a couple of proper rides, they'll be gone in a week or two. better to take it easy than do a Dover.

here how to rid your strips

thScrubbing in tires (right mouse click Save Target As)

just don't think about it. Bike should naturally lean into corners. Just watch out i find that for some reason the front and back start to slide a little when under power and cranked over..... really wierd that??

Pity the bike is nearly upright in that photo, obviously wasn't naturally leaning that day

If everyone was honest most of us would admit that we started off with chicken strips. I still have em, but they are shrinking and any day soon (if the weather settles) sould disappear completely, like yours I'm sure.

it comes with time! it isn't how far you lean over while in a corner its the getting to the corner & the punch out of it on to the next one! it doesn't have to be a case of beaded edges which in reality is only achieveable on the very best of roads or race track.

the tyre is a Pirelli Dragon Corsa totally munted in 3000ks from driving hard out of corners!

Darn. I have the burnout/commuting flat centre after 13,000+ kms on hard tyres. My Left hand side has worn much more than the right (steeper profile) as well which goes against the usual road camber argument. Must be all the time I spent on 'carpark tracks'.

The most interesting thing is that my front has worn more off the sides than the commuter middle strip, where as my rear always wore the centre quick as (without burnouts). Says something about my gentle on the throttle riding style then eh. Too much loading up front in corners is going to get me one day...

a little bit of motivation should be included with tires http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/at...achmentid=6944

To wear out the front middle takes one word....stoppies.

dems bigeer than moine! And IM the one living with ostriches. I got beaded tyres at the track - about 1.5cm from the edge. :LOL:

[madboy]

Just last night I got my chicken strips down to about 2 millimetres. So close, yet so far...

And then I had to ride through messy bloody road works which chucked crap all over the back wheel which makes it almost impossible to see my carefully scuffed marks now... bugger... of course, i could just clean the bike, but shit, that's stupid!
