Chicken Strips: Fahgettaboutit.

[Cutty72]

I've noticed that too, the profile on the front Corsa III is going to make it very difficult to scrub the entire thing.

Well said ceo.

The only reliable way to measure a person's riding ability is to take a look at their 12 o'clock bar.


Let's take a look;

The above bike is obviously not seriously ridden. The 12 o'clock bar is almost untouched, the can has not been chopped, the tire still has tread...pitiful.
Whoever rides this bike is obviously a huge squid. You're average segway rider could destroy him in the twisties. They probably also love the cock.

Now compare that to this;

This bike is obviously ridden by a pro, probably WSBK/MotoGP caliber rider. Notice the destruction of the rear tire, the abuse put to the 12 bar and just look at the size of that sprocket, almost as big as the rear wheel. It's a safe bet that the rider of this bike has several lap records at multiple GP circuits to his name.

WHO THE FUCK CARES?! so what if you have 5" chicken strips... or if you have none?

as long as your not a poser or an idiot stunter (the ones doing the shit in traffic) you've got my respect as a fellow rider... you can loose or gain from there on how you ride, knowledge, and just what kinda person you are.

not everyone who rides is out to drag a knee... doesn't mean they're not great riders...

besides... I've seen plenty of guys in Alaska that buy track take offs... (yeah they had them shipped up) with no chicken strips... just to sit in the fucking Taco Bell parking lot. you telling me this guy gets more respect?

Lets not judge a book by it's cover... and get to reading

You're missing the point a bit, methinks.

It feels like someone is punching you in the knee.

Or touch down some bare leather like I did before my pucks were positioned correctly... MAN that shit grabbed.

i have touched down leather.. was having too much fun grinding my pucks and ground a little too much off so my leather started dragging.. i didn't realize it until after the session.. the edge of the velcro that holds the puck is still all fucked up..

That's some scary stuff right there. I had a pretty mean pucker moment when that happened. I guess it forced some input on the bars and the bike started to get a little headshake while I was leaned. Left a pretty good mark on my brand new suit too.

Good thing I always keep a roll of black gorilla tape in the toolbox.

Mine just weren't positioned right for my height, bike, rearset height, body position, etc. They needed to be up further and slid a bit towards the front of my body. Now they're gravy.

I must have been loose on the bars at the time otherwise I would have crashed for sure. It yanked the whole left side of my body backwards. Yikes!

You can see the mark on the leathers here, on the left knee. It also broke a couple of the stitches that hold the velcro onto the pants, but it's not a big deal:



Edit: This was all at about 80mph. Scary shit.
