Dweezel Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Got a good laugh out of this, me and one of my friends, stopped at a gas station and waited for the other 3 people were were gonna meet up with. there's a kid there on a brand new gixxer 750, jeans, camo tank top, and a bandana sittin on his bike acting all hard. he's got racing numbers and stickers on this brand new bike like he's something. we look a little closer he's got chicken strips an inch and a half wide on the damn thing lol It's probably something you had to be there to appreciate, but all of our bikes are used to within millimeters of the edge of the tire, and neither of us think were that special like this kid did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I know of this guy that thought he was the man at riding because he could do some decent stunts etc.. until he came to a trackday with us and learned very fast he doesn't really know how to ride a bike.. it was just funny as hell.

XB12Ss Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'll admit it... I am a chicken strip whore.Speaking of which... I got a new tire today... Left side has a little under 1/4" of strip, but the right side has none... Very odd for me, I usually end up pretty even... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Riding around columbus is hard not to have strips. You have to find some good roads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to find some good roads!Generally the first thing I do when I get on my bike is get the hell out of town... Riding around town is boring and dangerous to me.

With a bike like yours, wearing down those strips will be hard! You'll be my hero if you can work that machine down to no strips, front and back.

InyaAzz Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I ended up with strips on my rear...Mainly because the majority of my riding consists of a 2 hour round trip commute to work most days. When I am riding for pleasure, there aren't any twisties to hit that are along the beaten path.I just got a new 2CT on the rear yesterday and I plan on scrubbing up the sides real good before the season is over.
