People talk a lot about chicken strips. Chicken strips don't necessarily mean anything. It's EXTREMELY dependent on body positioning.
After going to the track last fall and making huge improvements in and working on body positioning much of the time, I got new tires and went to ride a favorite road of mine at around probably 75 percent pace or something like that. Previously, before I ever went to the track, this pace removed the strips from my stock tires... using what I probably thought was great positioning but really wasn't. This time, at the end I looked down and still had big old strips on the tire. They mean nothing. Now, if you've been to the track and STILL have strips... then you've got a problem. Complete lack of strips on the street now means one of two (or maybe both) things to me: 1. Your body positioning sucks. or 2. You ride harder on the street than is probably safe, which is your choice. (not starting a judgement here, since I am comfortable pushing on the street, even with proper positioning, to a point where the strips will probably be pretty much gone...)

Chicken strips are inversley proportional to the size of your weiner.

That's it, generalize everyone that's a better rider than you into a category that is either "unsafe" or has "terrible body position."

I got out last night for the first time this year...and I'll tell you something...after going to the track, I have no desire to ride fast on the street. It's just not worth it to me.

comparison - you are 16 and sneaking into your girlfriend's house = riding fast on the street vs. you are 30 and banging a whore in your own house = riding fast on the track.
