There's a pre cursor, if u own a faggy commuter like a step thru, a contraption like Mark_H owns, a scootah or some other moto guzzi/BMW contraption then you'd fly under the radar but if you commute on a sportsbike or similar ( i.e. one thats meant to be ridden and not a commuter ) then expect to get ribbed about buying rubber and not using it !

didnt the colonel used to phone you up when you had the hondah and offer to sprinkle you with his special sauce? or was that a conversation i overheard between you and DUMTED?

Have read your article,and the rest of the book.It's my monthly fix.

That was a prime example of a dickhead,who has to go around doing that.
Chances are,he or she can't ride that well,and was only try to make themselves feel better.

That RC8 is going to have a complex too!

And nothing else.

Unless you run soft compound tyres with an slightly oversize profile which results in the very edges of the tyres getting all balled and scuffed up on the track...then when you get back to the road, due to the tyre profile it is impossible to replicate those lean angles so due to the sides of the tyres, you look like a permanent street racer....

I tested mine over a few hours ride on Sunday and am well pleased.

Anything more than a passing consideration of chicken strips is more attention than their relevance warrants. Of the people who choose to make fun of their significance...

The condition of the rubber in relation to wear and tyre pressure is infinitely more important and worthy of attention

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.

Without looking it up, I suspect I have seen that bike being wired up in Triple X (or another has the same set up). Under the front fairing is a Blinder...

Re chicken strips... Who the fuck cares. As Brett says, there are a lot of variables, and keeping within the tread profile is certainly safer. You can feel the bike get more nervous etc, as you drop off the main tread area of the tyre.

If you're riding to get rid of them, or worried about what others think of your strips... you have bigger issues!

Not when a cute girl does it. Thats different. It's easy to shrug off some comment from some mouth-breather bloke, but cute chix really should watch what they inadvertently offer disapproval on, because boys will act to change it. Thats never been a bad thing (usually) but not on chicken strips.

Be careful please.

Oh yeah! I really respect the opinions of "cute girls" they are soooooo knowledgeable

Look her straight in the eye and tell her she's full of shit. She'll respect you for it because deep down she knows you're right.

LOL. That hasn't ever worked for me.

Chix know deep down you are right? What planet do you come from?

Planet confident conviction... you either have it or don't.

Seriously, if a pretty girl's opinion of your tyres causes you to adjust your riding boundaries then you are demonstrating that you have confidence and common sense shortcomings that are significantly more revealing of your manliness than the state of your tyres.

I'd rather slow down a bit more for the corners and speed on the straights than the other way around personally. I have just as much fun with the added advantage of not becoming a piece of scenery...
