That would be because dirt knobblies don't really have such things as 'chicken strips'?

Hmm
Road bikes vary - geometry and tyres appear to make a difference, change tyre brands and where you got to the edge before you may only get within a cm on a different rear.
On the road I prefer to think of them as safety-strips - I know I can always close my eyes and lean it over a bit more if I really have to!
One hell of a ride.
No - I meant Stretch and Todd and Vege and The Ed actually.
I mentioned them once - but I think I got away with it.

Perhaps Sadly.
I must say, the chicken-strips are are solid indication of a rider either getting down and dirty, or not. I've still got a bit over 1cm, despite the fact my pegs have scratched.
And despite all you worry-warts and mothers-in-waiting, I really would like to arrive home, one day, bereft of the strips.
When the CS's are gone, you've been right out there to the outer edges; either in terror or sublimely in sync. Either way works for me.
I have to admit I'm an adrenalin junkie. Maybe, after I actually learn to ride my bike properly....sometime in the next ten years....then the adrenalin rush won't arrive. Then what? That's presuming I live that long.
Only 'Now' exists in reality.

Interesting... my RG150 front tire still has almost an inch of chicken strip on it, and i think down and dirty it has been indeed....

Okay, without sounding like a cock about it, I don't have chicken strips - I can post photo's if needed. I tend to wear out the middle left, and middle right of the tire, and when those bits are shagged, then I tend to be more forthcoming with burnouts and smoking the rear when they're cold.
It's logical to have some on the front tires, unless you do track days, in which case you'll tend to work the front much harder.
However, I have friends in Welly, they have much more oil and shite on their roads, plus colder temps - having a goodly amount of chicken strip in WGTN is sensible, and you can truthfully hustle pretty hard without doing the knee down, leaned right over, tearing your tires to pieces routine that adds penis size.
Its diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; its life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

Everyone has their two cents, here's mine.... ride twistier roads and turns, you can get your lean on here without having to be actually hauling ass, the "chickens" et al could still get over without putting your ass on the line. Ride the turns again and again, become better at going around these corners and in turn enjoy riding that much more. Getting your lean on feels soooooo good. If that's not your buzz, ah well, I'm still happy and my tyres are scrubbed without shitting my pants in the process.
