Chicken Strips and Bluetooth-compatible headset

[michael]

its a bit of a dick measuring contest. If you don't lean very much in corners you don't wear out you whole tire, leaving unworn strips on the side of your tires.

I've got em to. About 1/2 a cm on both front and rear. Yet I still manage to knee slide around corners and keep up with most amateur riders on the track.

ok i will be the brave one! what are chicken strips?

And you shall be rewarded for your bravery with a severe mocking Nah you get chicken strips from not wearing your tire all the way to the edge of its tread (unworn edge = chicken strip).

How was that for an explaination?

The worst is bikes that have the flat band round the middle of the tyre, unless its from doing skids of course.

Or from 2-up touring South Island mid-winter with ice grit at every nice set of twisties.

I recommend reading my article on page 92 of Motorcycle Trader if you'd like a full explanation of what they are.

Let’s see if you can find them on the tyres within the attached...?

An RC8 with a cop scanner and huge chicken strips???

It's just screaming out SQUID/POSER. Or very careful motorcycle journo who doesn't want to fork out for the insurance excess for binning a $30k motorcycle.

I really wanted a KTM. Until I rode it and discovered what they pass off as throttle control.

Best wishes with the comp, but IMO Chicken strips indicate how the bike has been ridden very recently. Usually indicative of a very short space of time.
And nothing else.

I agree, that fact was highlighted (literaly) when i did some gravel road riding, came back and there was white chicken strips on both tyres. I wasnt going as hard on they way back as the chain popped off in the gravel, i thought it was probly a good plan to tighten it up properly before thrashing it again!

Musta been dark times indeed

IMO, EVERYONE should ride their OWN ride.

To encourage people to ride outside their abilities by giving them shit about their chicken strips,is only going to add to the already over hyped media about dying bikers/motorcycle accidents. (That's real clever.....NOT!)

I reckon if it's someones personal goal to ride the chicken strips off their tyres,then good for them,but i think they got some insecurity issues if they have to judge other people by theirs.

If ya having fun,who gives a toss what some ego-maniac wannabe thinks.

Can anyone get rid of chicken strips on the front tyre running 120 on 3.5inch rim .I think you may need to fall off to manage it or run 25 pounds pressure.
My bonneville has no rear chicken strip but still 2mm on front even with d shape tyre.Race bike has couple of mm on front also and the fairings scrape at that stage.

Both my tyres have chicken strips. And I have whole bones. Happy to keep it that way.

If you read my article you will see I was a victim once from one of these 'Chicken Strip Chaser' types and what they did to me I thought a little on the extreme side.

But lucky for them I can take some flack
