Chicken strips - lets see yours

[Jase22]

Thought it might be quite amusing to see how everyone's chicken strips are keeping, or should that be more to see how wide the wear strip in the middle of the tyre is at the minute!! :lol: :lol:

Here's a beauty of mine about 20 miles after fitting my new tyres, happy to say that the strips are slightly smaller now :D

And this is after a long strech on the Autobahn on the way home.

I'm proud to say it's never gonna be thinner! :lol:

[GregK2]

Yup, still got mine, if I had a digital camera and could upload pictures, would happily show 'em off. :wink:

[amarko5]

Here's mine at present , by the end of the run i managed to remove all the salt :lol: :P

Started at Hartside (well who wouldn't) it was interesting as the roads were very liberally sprinkled with salt (****loads of it) :P

this made for some interesting riding in the twisties ( like riding on loose sand) I reckon i would have been like the big boys to watch "backing it in" sliding around apexes ETC.

I managed to get the tyre covered in salt right to the edges :twisted:

i need to work on them abit more :) still cant get my knee down :oops:

What do you want to get your knee down for?

[kwak zzr]

to get the scratches off my knee sliders that i made when i fell off :oops:

[22]

I'm sure rubbing them on tarmac wont buff them up. :)

[hall13uk]

mine are large :roll: oh well :lol:

[kwak zzr]

I'm sure rubbing them on tarmac wont buff them up. :)

everyone who see's the scratches on my sliders says "i see you got your knee down mate" and i cant lie so i have to go into the story of when i came off.
so you see i'd like to do em propa!! :D

[lodman27]

Here's mine, and still no knee down!!!

[kwak zzr]

what tyres are those lodman27?

[lodman27]

Metzeler roadtec z6's alot better than standard, but not as good as jon's pilot powers!! Will be changing the rear after santa pod for sportec m3. Front to follow (soon hopefully)

Lawrence

[kwak zzr]

reason i ask is you've got no chicken strips? i think its got alot to do with the tyre your running, most sv riders cant use all the tyre right to the edge but as soon as you change the tyre its a different story? i cant talk too much because i dont know much about tyres. my cousin has a 05 bandit and within 600miles from new he had a puncture that couldn't be repair'd so he had a new tyre fitted(better one than stock) and hes used most of the width of the tyre already and hes just a learner :? i dunno :roll: just a thought :wink:

Peter might I respectfully point out that as I pay for tyres I like to ensure that I get full use out of them by wearing them right to the edge :lol:

I've got a away to go on the front yet though :oops:

[JakeRS]

Well guys here are mine. I'm quite proud because my old bike had huge strips :D

And also pleased to say this front was a brand new tyre so I have an excuse for the strips :wink:

[Balky001]

Peter

Let's see the next 5 shots where the front end folds and you bump on you back side for a bit - could this be the reason for the new lid - a few scratches? I could have got a similar shot when I dropped the Daytona 675 :wink: :lol:

Get yourself some minitwin throwbacks off e-bay. Thats where I've picked up my last two rears from. The supercorsa I've just fitted had done about 8 miles and you could still make out the line from the mould across the centre! :shock:
Not bad for £41 plus a tenner for delivery :lol:

I think if you look hard enough you may possibly see something that could be classed as a chicken strip.

I just wanted to see if I could actually rub all of the elephant off. Should do it by the time the tyres are needed to be changed.

That last wee bit just won't go away will it? :) Interestingly, if you put a 120/70 Roadtec on the front, it'll still have big strips even after the rear's been sanded off.
