God I love that pic!!

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!

the busa can do THAT to a tyre in 300k, not 3000!

those chicken strips aren't as bad as these ones though.....

[Brett]

damn, that is a valley down the middle of that tyre!

thats a turkey strip! mmm caused by what? ooh maybe a burnout or two aye?

and lets see 16yr old 750cc bike (67kw stock at the wheel) lightened to 180kg compared to what, a no older than 6yrs 1300cc 115.1kw at the wheel & 215kg (a bike thats notorious for being hard on rear tyres) doesn't balance out MARTY does it.
sure i could throw another $400 tyre on a do hero shit at lights etc and chop the fucker out in no time, but nah i'd rather push unsuspecting GSX-R1100s & the likes around tight twisty bends. bring the big tank down to some tight roads & see what happens huh! the power & weight wouldn't help you there!

that tyre was chopped out doing runs around the summit rd & lyttleton harbour bays which is some of the prime riding roads around CHCH somewhere were even a 250 can embarrass litre bikes, come & have a play one day, i've spent over 19yrs playing there so watch ya self

have a nosey at the bottom of the fairing on my old MHR thats a scrub mark from heading up to the sign of the kiwi (dyers pass rd) check with CHCH based KBs what that rd is like

Thanks for the site ZZR what a good read an some very interesting and relevant points. Not sure how it would work for my CBR thou.

[Aucker]

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

thats shameful lol!

go buy a gn250 dude.

Yeah, the Chch KBers sure know how how to ride like a bunch of nanas.

Do that with your angle grineder did ya? Well done.

[White trash]

Will these do?

No.


I knew a guy once. Had a semi respectible sort of sports machine. Even rode it semi well I was told.

Then he went and bought some old fuddy duddy type tourer with "V-tech" and I lost all respect for him. Shame, seemed like a good cunt.

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.

On my ride on a motorbike on the open road, my cbr I got my chicken strips down to about2mm

[Zapf]

really! to start with I had similar *handling problem* with my 750. Make sure the suspension has been setup in the ball park for you... e.g not too hard.

Also not sure what bikes you had before.... but make sure you grip tank well with legs and lean fowards and not put weight at all on handle bars...

[pritch]

WT if you kept your knee outa the way you'd be able to lean the bike over properly

[Sniper]

Yeah, the Chch KBers sure know how how to ride like a bunch of nanas.

You are just saying that to try save face and not race R1Aaron

[T.W.R]

thats something a f$%^# period stain like you would do take to a show bike with a grinder, ya F^%$#@ numb-nut

stop stuttering in ya posts & learn to spell

Mmmmm - still a nice looking bike......I scraped the tip of the muffler once on the GT750........bump in the middle of the corner and the missus on the back!
Dyers Pass Rd....hmmm....got out-laws who live there - must be time for another visit........
I've got this cunning idea of a full floating front wheel for optimum grip!
Got a few bugs in it at the moment, but think it'll catch on?????
