Please help..

[PitsVtec]

[Barbi]

[Rev]

SSSSHHH..I just wanna see what they say ;)

[PitsVtec]

:omg:

[njf4i]

So i'm just gonna take a guess at this.

Do you just ride up and down Rt 22 between the 2 stewarts? :lol:

But honestly who cares what your tires look like. As long as your out there having fun, hitting the twistie road, everything will come on its own.

Like last year i thought i was an ok rider. It took everyone i rode with over i year to tell me i sucked. God that hurt. But now i just put miles upon miles on. It just started happening.

Now i just got to get my ass to the track and i could die a happy man.

oh fcgirl.....correct me if i'm wrong..but aren't chicken strips checked from the corner of a tire in...being that if the strip is thing from the corner in that means your ride a little harder...

[Qetesh]

IMO, it doesn't and shouldn't matter if you have "chicken strips" on your tire. That shouldn't be an indicator to determine if you are or aren't a good rider. Too many people get hung up on that.

The golden rule should always be: Ride your own pace and never, NEVER try to keep up with someone!

The street is a very dangerous place. Throw in the idea that you have to lean the bike over to get rid of those dreaded chicken strips only adds to the danger. The only place to safely work on reducing those strips is at the track.

Everyone has there own learning curve so don't fret. Just my .02

Hope to see you at the track next season!

[soda7o]

chicken strips dont mean shit...
i got em and so what....
when i went on the lobster ride i wsa right behind a few people going the same speed and they would divein to the turn a bit later and get the bike all the way down.. i was right behind them same speed only i started to dip a bit ealrier and didn tneed to go as low. chicken strips odnt mean shit. ride and enjoy it.. i migh tnot be able to dragg a knee or do a wheelie but i have fun on a bike and tryto keep up with me in NYC traffic and slicing thru cars.. ... try it :) my ol dbike had asquare tire cause all i did was rool around the city and shit in between cars ..
one day ill make it to the track an dmaybe get rid of my chicken strips but fo rnow its about staying alive on the streets so irather be the guy with chciken strips and alive than the guy with no chickens strips but inthe hospital.. :)




NJf4i i want to shoot shit... lets do it.. i sitll didnt do anythign to get my hunting license but i want ot hunt.. do you know th einfo for PA so i can get my ass a license and a gun.. (if i cant hunt shit than i want to shoot shit)

yeah i figured that..joel kinda taught me to ride my own pace..he's a good rider....but i was just wondering what and who and how people dertemine how good you are from chicken strips...that answer's my questions

[pillaka]

i got tiny little chicken strips on my tires, i can't lean the bike over any farther or bodywork, shift/brake levers, and/or pegs drag

Ooooh you shouldn't have Rev... you making me blush now... :bigblush:

After a few incidents... you will be forced to learn to ride your own pace! But let's not get to that point to learn that...

[toky]

when i went on the lobster ride i wsa right behind a few people going the same speed and they would divein to the turn a bit later and get the bike all the way down..

Riders some times do this on purpose, so they can lean more.

but i have fun on a bike and tryto keep up with me in NYC traffic and slicing thru cars.. ... try it :) my ol dbike had asquare tire cause all i did was rool around the city and shit in between cars ..

Hmmm... splitting lanes gives you a better chance of staying alive than going hard into corners... interesting concept... :confused:

LMFAO!!! Rev you have a severe case of chickenstripitis!!! The cure is a few track days! ;)

Ps. That's still one of the nicest RR's I've seen, great exhaust. :nod2:

Then the answer to that, is you cant tell squat...

In fact no chicken strips can be a bad thing. I have TOO much lean angle at times, and that means scraping other parts of the bike, which can cause you to lose traction in the rear.. That means I am not getting myself off the bike enough to change my center of gravity so i dont have to lean the bike over as much...

Jefftable said it best.

If you want to get rid of them strips, come out with me. But worrying about strips shouldn't be your concern. Once you ride harder and better, they go away automatically.
Let me know Mark, and keep hunny bunny home for this one.
LMFAO

+1 to following mr. bill around.

I had the pleasure of one ride this year where he took the time to have me follow his line thru a great road. I stopped focusing on BS in my head and just hit the marks.

By the end of that ride i stopped caring about what the tires looked like, and started focusing on hitting the marks and making the bike move faster.

Rev...yes you have chicken strips but who cares? You are a street rider so it shouldn't matter. Just ride to have fun.

Thanks ya prick. :lol:

lol..billy yeah i heard that your one of the best street rippers...but like i said on the street i get some hesitation...if i was on the track i'm sure it would be different..this winter i'm gonna try and save a bit more money for full suspension work and gear and tires....i should be ready for some next year...

I actually made this post for fun...but it's acutually turned out informative...all I hear people talk about is chicken strips....and how good you ride cuz of it..or what ever.....now i know the truth..muuahahahaha....and i'm not a bad rider either..I don't think so at least

[Vin]

[High_Revs_17]

Not quite, Ron. I just don't take the risks needed to run the tires to the edge on the street like some others. :nono:

First of all I gave you a compliment in a joking fashion. Secondly it's not about risk or who has the biggest dick, as Billy stated the more one's ability increases in being comfortable leaning the bike properly into any turn the less chicken strips are apparent at the end of the day. If you're speaking of not taking risks then don't bother riding at all be it on the street or on the track, the faster you go the worse it gets.

[High_Revs_17]

i'm not a bad rider either..I don't think so at least

No you're not a bad rider, and the number one reason is cuz you're still riding!

[Vin]

I just think it's a shame everyone's so hung up on these "strips". Just fucking ride and don't worry about how much lean angle you have.

And yeah, I worry about the risks of riding hard on the street. There's no need to double the speed limit in areas where it is simply not safe. I'll take the risk on the track, thanks. There's no guard rails, oncoming traffic, sand, dirt, or trees to fuck someone's world up.

That's my opinion.

Oh, and I think we've all heard the "If you can't keep up, don't show up" line of horse shit before. That mentality is what gets people hurt.

I don't think the subject of "strips" is a disaster to speak of, more so a form of busting the chops of fellow riders, like Rev said he didn't take it seriously and he shouldn't.

If one's worrying about their lean angle there's something wrong, unelss it's the case where they're pushing the bike completely over without moving off the seat at all.

The street can be as safe as you make it, I know, I've been on it for a long time. The track is a much more controlled envioronment or so it should be aside from the apparent amount of distracting gravel on the outside of a turn at Beaver. But don't lose sight of the fact that you can just as easily get a medivac flight to the ER on the track as you can on the street...shit happens and when it does bones don't discriminate.

Regarding pace, at the beginning of this year Billy, Dave and I were running upfront and Nick, Mike & you were running behind, we didn't care and pulled over to wait, you ran your own pace as we did ours and everyone had a great time. You chose your comfortable pace and we respected you for it. But in general it's important for newbie to know the pace of the group ride, especially if they don't know the guys they're riding with, so they don't lose concentration and hurt themselves in trying to keep up with the faster guys if they choose not to slow down. There's nothing wrong with a group of guys running a spirited pace on the street and they shouldn't be looked down upon cuz they were nice enough to inform a newbie about the pace before hand. It's up to the individual rider to make up their own mind on how and where they choose to ride.

he lost me on this one, too... not that it is any way relevant to the discussion....

no chicken strips can be a bad thing, and although i havent personally experienced it yet, others here who will remain nameless have experienced what happens when you have too much lean angle...

[High_Revs_17]

:confused:

I heard about it from a couple of riders...I was surprised to hear of that.

Whoever you heard that from is smokin crack...there is never any gravel on a track...loose bits of rubber...maybe...never gravel.

I like to follow good riders because i can see how they move on the streets. i will pace them..I know how to handle my bike but it's good to ride behind someone who is good at riding cuz you can learn a lot...i'm not worried about chicken strips i kinda just wanted to know what they are and why some people out there base that on how you ride...now I know...and knowing is half the battle..."GO JOE"

[High_Revs_17]

You're right, that's a great way to learn and gain confidence on the street. Just be sure you're not so fixated on their tail that you follow them into the woods should something go wrong. Keep an eye on the rider infront of you and also look ahead of them, be sure of your target and beyond.
