You do realize that this is a physical impossibility?

After


I have huge chicken strips
It happens. Look at mine. Ive been nearly right to the edge, just obviously not today. You can just see the 'real' chicken strip sort of right at the edge. But the bigger bands just not recent usage. Same as yours.

When I started riding the SV, I found that I quite quickly eroded away almost all of my chicken strips.

It was only after riding around later that I found that this was due to the release compound wearing away & making the tyre look a different colour in the middle compared to the very edge

I'm now attacking those chicken strips properly, and have found an excellent route near me to see how fast I can go before I lowside

Heh, sorry Ben, I have a habit of hitting the button twice, but always go & check. If I see a duplication, I delete it

SO WHAT???? Mine are HOOOGE, but, there again most of my mileage is motorway, so I'm actually surprised my tyres aren't squared off :P (I don't deny being a chicken, by the way )
