Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick). There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too. |

Felipe....Are there no corners at all in your part of Portugal?
This strip lark is all baloney guys. On my rear Michelin Sport you can feel the roughness all the way to the edge of the tyre but a fine line remains proud all the way around. The front tyre is a milliion miles off what some might call an acceptable lack of strip. But it is not all down to corner speed and winter conditions, there can be a big difference in the profile of different tyres.Some make it feel just so natural to be leaning further and further,when others make you feel like your just going to flop on to your side. Having said that I have never felt 100% about my sports and am very shortly going to pop on some Powers which by all accounts should give me miles o smiles!

I have probably have about 0.5 inch chicken strips on my rear Road-Attack.
I also quite often order a (Diet) Coke in the pub (when I'm riding/driving). Wear your chicken strips with pride !!

The guys over here have a much nicer phrase for them, they call them "Hero lines". Therefore possibly less stigma to admitting that you have them!
