A guy I know bought a zx6 with new tires in August and by spring(cold winters) he showed me his rear tire. To my surprise he had no chicken strips, none, not even a centimeter. What is interesting is that this is his 1st bike. Now I don't care for the guy so much because he is a cocky jackass and constantly brags about everything.

can you eliminate your chicken strips with a slanted burnout ? How long would it take to eliminate them if you handed over your bike to a pro rider for a day? Ive seen this guy ride and ridden with him 2 -3 times and he never leans over to far so I don't know how he eliminated them.

ideas?

do you really care?

Also, from August to spring is about 9 months... you make it sound like only a weekend.

All it takes is a couple of turns on full lean angle and the strips are gone

another worthless post.

U-turns in a parking lot can make them go away

Sand paper can make them go away

Maybe he swapped tires?

Maybe he let his friend use it for a day

I scrubbed my chicken strips completely off within a week of getting my new Pilot Powers... I don't think I'm a great rider and I have never been to a track (yet).

I know I got some lean on, but I did in no way ride like someone would/could on a track.


To sum it up: Chicken strips don't mean shit.

go to a parking lot and do a couple of msf style figure eights, then head to the bike night to rake in the 'tang

Exactly. Who gives a f#ck about them?

You speak as if it's impossible.

i see. Well i still have some strips left, i know i lean enough but was questioning why i still had mine and he not have his if we ride similar.

Sounds like dumbass is riding beyond his abilities and staying straight up on the bike in corners.

Not having chicken strips isn't necessarily a good thing.

ride around for awhile with 12lbs of air in the tires. problem solved...

"Chicken strips" don't mean shit. You will find guys like him with no chicken strips, yet as you stated, is no indicator of riding style or skill. You will also find guys that have "chicken strips" yet have tremendous amounts of skill. Don't look at the brand of motorcycle, displacement, or chicken strips. Look at the rider.

He bought the bike used and teh guy who had it before him said he just put on new tires?

 

[NattyDrez]

You can eliminate bitch strips by not eating chicken anymore...how about that?

I can't get rid of those pesky Metzeler Elephants for anything, and I can get out of my own way. Chicken strips on a bike ridden on the street means that you are not riding like a squid. Too many things can go wrong when you are pushing the limits.

A slanted burnout? lol that would be harder than getting rid of chicken strips the conventional way...

I hate to use her as an example, but...

that's how you get rid of chicken strips and drag footpegs without actually knowing what you're doing or going through a turn very fast.

 

[binx_19]

did you look at his front tire?

Race takeoffs?

Well...

Comparing the size of chicken strips to see who is the better rider is basically like checking out the guys in the gym shower to see who is the best lover. Neither one will prove anything except that you have a bad habit of looking at the wrong things.
