Chicken Strips
I was at a local bike gathering and noticed not many rider get all the way over on there tires. Just wondering how many use all there tires, or how much is unscrubed ? In my area there is a lot of good roads to run. But most riders have about 1/2" to 1" chiken strips.

I have a 180/55/17 rear tire and my M1 sport tech has 1/4 inch on each side but we dont have a lot of curves here. I also noticed alot of guy's with the same size rear tire had big strips at our gatherings but not all can lay it down that low. I constanly rubing my left toe and peg. But realy on the street it is not the wisest to go that low . Oil , gravel , and so many other things. At a closed course I go all the way to the edges no strips at all

Adjustable rearsets? Hrrmmm... Maybe I need to get off the wallet a little. My chickenstrips are currently about 1/2 to 1 inch. I am just getting over shoulder surgery and am a little scared to lean it too far right now...[X(]

I'm around a 1/2" also....I'm with you Remo, I need to find more twisties. That and I'm about to raise my bike back up to stock, so maybe I'll be able to take my corners and everthing a little bit lower. :-) It's kinda hard with it being lowered, I have to use more of my arms than I normally would.
