+1, The more you ride the lower they'll get! I've never met anyone that was WSB quality when they first got on the street. We all started pretty much the same way.

Don't worry about what they say. You are the one that has to go home with your head at the end of the day, and as long as you are happy with yourself, then thats all that counts.

But i know who the whole poser issue goes, I had a big arguement with a FORMER buddy, It started by me asking him if he was buying another bike after selling his '02 F4i. He replied no, Then i replied so it wasn't the image you thought it would be so you sold it? That started the battle LoL he bought it used with 3800 miles on it crashed it then ended up putting about 130miles on it before selling it to his daddys friend for 7k!!!! (his dad paid the guy back the difference of what it should have cost) but he started saying my bike is underpowered etc, trying to tell me his bike had 112hp AT THE WHEEL a 2002 f4i completely stock. so then and there i shut the conversation and walked out. All in all he was the definition of a squid, quite funny.

Hey man, Don't sweat it. This "Poser" issue is in everything. When I skate I hear it all the time. When I kart I hear it. When at car club events it is everywhere. It's everywhere and just let it roll off. As long as you are having fun and not hurt then that is all that matters.

Mmmmm..... chicken strips. Wendy's has the best chicken strips.
Not that I feel like a "poser", but that fact that the very most outer edges of my tires are untouched bothers me a little. If the tire manufacturer put a surface there then damnit I should be using it. I've only got about a 3/8" area that's untouched, but I'm working on it. I actually spent about an hour yesterday in a large clean parking lot just doing figure 8s, trying to get the knee down, controlling the throttle at high lean angles at lower speeds, and grinding out the chicken strips. I made some progress, but still no knee and the strips remain. I'll keep working at it though.

strips are the part of your tires that are unmolested(the more you lean your bike the less the tire is clean). Where i live we have alot of people who say they ride only to drop there bike on the first turn. they want to look good, and dont care about the sport of riding. stright lines are not riding, anyone, and i mean anyone can get on a bike and go stright, it takes skill to RIDE a bike. not saying you guys dont. always ride within your limits and dont worry about what people say, they dont have to pay the reaper, you do.
