I bet you most people* have been riding along purposely TRYING to reduce chicken strips, therefore thinking about them whilst riding!!

*yes including me when I used to care about such things

Nah, I fall outside that bet. I don't ride to get rid of chicken strips.

I do admit though, that sometimes (for example this morning) I'll come around a corner & think "f*** me, that was low down..." and then have a "how low can you go" competition with myself. For no other reason than it feels good to be slow low to the floor IMO.

I have actually leant the ‘wrong way’ off the bike before now trying to reduce my ‘strips!! .... Oh, come on people, you know you have at some point too!!!

You didn't need to zoom in to see that! I've done the same before on a post I made to the org.

Blue, I'm not interested in KD either (mainly due to wearing textiles that don't have knee sliders admitedly). But then, I also know I've been low enough that if I'd of stuck my knee out, it'd of hurt!!

Yes, I've leaned the wrong way off the bike before too. But I'm not convinced it gives much advantage.

I've had the peg down on the SV, with PR2s fitted. I still have about an inch of tyre left on the rear commonly referred to as "chicken strip."

If it's called that because I'm too chicken to push the bike over futher, it looks like I need to get riser plates.

I'd rather have plenty of rubber left no matter how far I push it.

Oh and plenty o rubber on the tyres as well

I heard someone had been taking the micky out of Valentino and his chicken strips at Sachsenring last weekend. Hence his outrageous attempt to remove them by undertaking De Puniet!
