'Chicken strips'

Wow not many people can lean that far have you considered entering Motogp. :wink:

 

hehe chicken strips?

 

Are they all straight roads where you live?...

 

Never got the fixation people have with this. Having been a fan of the late great Dave Jeffries and watching his road "upright" riding style, Its certainly no measure of speed or ability. If anyone is wearing a tyre like that on the roads then they have a wide birth from me

 

A fresh tyre like that? I wouldn't be going all motogp on it either...

 

What car is that fitted too? :biggrin:

 

Actually, I was a bit harsh with my comment. I too have about 5mm, but when on track it's a different matter. When I traded in my old R6 for the 848, the dealer tried to knock me down in price due to the tyres being ragged on both sides... I told him where to go with that one...

 

Careful now, those motorcycles are dangerous

 

Are you sure these aren't Turkey strips mate? A lot fatter than chickens :wink:

 

Superb Slipper, I'd go a bit further and say ostrich strips lol. :biggrin:

 

When you're a track day super hero like wot I cleary is; :biggrin: Well ok, I've done one..

 

That tyre looks a bit squared off there Nelson...

 

Is that the imprint of a Ford badge in your tyre Nelson?

 

No, that's imprinted in my perineum

 

as long as your having fun that's all that matters. we cant all be track heros like some. enjoy

 

we're all having fun because Tyke's OP is tongue in cheek , jeez

 

Tis indeed a brand spankers tyre which has barely been off the forecourt.

I can't get to the edge of a 190 on my 999 on the road. But I don't care. I seem to be going fast enough. It's a lot to do with riding styles in any case.

 

The state of the roads in UK (Essex anyway) makes me nervous about going gung ho. If there's not a bump or pot hole on line there's the possibility of gravel just round the bend. That's my excuse anyway. Can't be bothered to lap roundabouts to get the edge scrubbed.
