RE: chicken strips
If people aren't comfortable pushing it, why encourage them to ride outside of their limits?
If you knew as much as you thought, you'd know your little strips are of little value on the street.
I got aquestion for you, do you lean your bike, or do YOU hang off your bike?
That's okay, you can lean your bike all day long and I'll still blow past you while hanging my *** halfway off the side of mine - you can take harder corners with a much more vertical bike by you doing the work instead of relying on your bike.
Ever heard the idea, "ride within 80% of your limits, then if something goes wrong, you have a good 20% of your ability left over to adjust and make a save?"
If you've got your bike leaning so far (if you strips are so worthy of admiration this should be the case), then what the hell are you gonna do when you got an obstacle in your way and all of a sudden you've got to straighten up and head the opposite direction?
My guess is crash and burn.

RE: chicken strips
My tire is so squared off that the width of the flat strip is starting to catch up to my chicken strips - does that count for anything ? Kidding of course...
Not sure what the OP was hoping to acheive with this post. Yes, we lean our bikes over but no, not as
much as Rossi et al.
Enjoy the ride, at any angle !

I won't take a corner unless I put a knee down so needless to say going through the drive through can be alittle tricky at times.
