The whole chicken strip argument is stupid to me. It's kinda like "how much ya bench?" Who fuckin cares? I guess I'm just getting old, but different people can enjoy riding at all different lean angles.

I feel exactly the same way.

I don't have chicken strips on my bike particularly since I've still got my track tires on. Yet a lot of guys walk up to my bike, chests all puffed out and say "look at those chicken strips". I just roll my eyes and laugh.

Meh....generally I see a sport bike with a flat spot all around the rear tire and wide chicken strips and think "poser." But, you are right....it's their money. If they want to buy a high performance motorcycle when their riding skill is more suited to a moped, who am I to judge?

In this case, at a quick glance, I didn't see any chicken strips and that seemed pretty cool knowing it was his girls bike.

Eh ....well if it's any consolation, she had maybe a half inch of strip on either side. The girl can ride. If the roads around here were tighter I'm sure she'd have even less of a strip. Ya gotta admit that you look a bit foolish commenting about the chicken strips on new tires...

Perfect. That would put me right about eye-to-boob level.
