Chicken Strips

Just a bit of fun nothin serious. How big are yours? chicken strips that is. Just looked at my back tyre ( Avon storm) its about 5mm. What about you lads?:smile:

 

whats a chicken strip
?

 

Yeah, whats a chicken strip?:wink:

 

Zero! In fact, I usually have some rolled-up rubber coming off the edge. That's only from track use, on the street I leave maybe 5mm at most.

 

0.0mm - track dayz

 

Thanks for your replies on chicken strips. I guess there are some hard ridin bikers over in the states. CHEERS EVERYONE.

 

I have none, living 45 minutes from deals gap takes good care of that.

 

About 5mm on the front, maybe 1-3 on the rear, depending on the ride.

After this ride, I had none!

 

You crazy MOFO Seb !!!!

 

I really don't know but it must have about 5 mm...

 

Just havin fun man! :thumbsup:

 

Chicken strips are the area of the tyre that touches the road when in a max tilt.........So if you don't tilt it to the max,you can look at the tyre and see the lack of use line near the edge the tyre......has a different colour as well.....Monk

 

none on the left side... about a 1/4 in. on the right. But I'm working on that. Something must be wrong with my body position, cause I feel perfectly comfortable practically digging my left foot peg in and using it as a brake on tight, sharp lefts... but on the right it seems like I don't even come close unless its a soft high speed sweeper or when I'm cheating off another rider's bitch'n lines. ie::reg:.

 

ohh chicken strips i like kfc's....sebspeed great pic wish i could find a quiet clean turn like that one...............

 

I know this post was just for fun,........but if you seriously worry about your "chicken strips' you really should spend more time worrying about your riding style. All chicken strips show is that you know how to lean your bike over further than it needs to be leaned.. Thats what getting off the bike is all about. Keep the tires in contact, and in the sweet spot.

Now with that said...... I have none except for the front. :biggrin:

 

fixed that today

 

Holy BALLS Seb!

Hang off the damn thing will ya:reg:

I have lots of chicken strips, confidence in the three and half old stock dunlop tires. But I do have a brand new set of PR2's I'm dying to start gringing.
