    No no no

    We MUST protect the illusion that no chicken strips is a sighn of a truely MANLY MAN in the motorcycle world. Indeed the size of his testicals are inversly proportional to his chicken strips width.

    The reason for this is that the racers amoungst us are able to get a bloody good return on our second hand tyres from these people

    So SHHHHH
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    I will go up to the Woolies carpark and do some 360's asap
    I think the nipple shows i am not concerned with chicken strips,some riders can roll edge to edge no problem i am not one or likely to be.
    A lot of it is confidence i guess in both themselves and the bike.
    I rode a set up R1 once that did it on its own accord,it handled that well.
    The flip side is i know what it is like to be sliding along on ones bottom,a little caution goes a long way even if you were not being silly at the time.

    just finished cleaning the fj1200 with couple of mates (one RF900RR and the other ZX6R) and they laffing about my chicken strips. I like to call them "Living lines" ANYHOW I think nothing about my "LL's" WHY?
    Well when your 200kg+ ALL you get is Chicken Strips, I mean "Living Lines"
    I ask for nothing but to ride where ever the road calls

    They should be called sensible strips

    Sensible strips not chicken strips, who gives a rats arse anyway, all I know is the young guys don't have any and as you get older they get wider !!
    Cannot understand why.

    i dunno if mine have got wider with age,
    i can't say i ever looked till i saw this page.
    lol 40+ goin on 20(maybe).
    lol 30 odd years on a bike,and the first time i've really looked at my tyres
    enough to see if i have strips.
    when they start letting go it's time to replace them

    I say chicken strips are demeaning to chickens. It must really piss them off just being treated like pieces of meat.

    The strips aren't important so long as all the letters are gone.
