chicken strip help

Keiths Codes books are good, but I liked the book "sport riding techniques" by Nick Ianasomething

It geared a little more to street riding ratherthan just track instructions

I had a 1/2' left for the longest time and I finally said ok...F-this, this bike can do better than that! so I just kept doing more laps around the clover leaf and just stayed smooth and gave her a Liiiiiiittle moooore and just stuck to my lines and I'll be damned...I'm down to 1/8 [sm=wootwoot.gif]
Now I've got to get some input on tire pressures before this season comes around so I can continue my quest. and yes, I'm learning on the streets as well. smart? no, not at all. cheaper than the track? well, for right now it is until I high side down the embankment or go shooting across the median into on-coming traffic! then, if I'm able, I'll really put some more thought into the track. but, at least 1 of the chicken strips will be gone at that point right!

Ok so I have been practicing riding with some newly learned techniques. I can tell you I am sooo much faster doing things properly than just trying to imitate other riders. However, Even being so much faster I still cant get rid of my damn chicken strips. Probably half an inch each side of a 190 rear. Do I just need to keep practicing? I am really starting to feel much more comfortable in turns now but I would like to be able to use all of the tire. Any suggestion?
Oh, and go to the track if you are determined to go fast...
