Anyone gotten a 190/55/17 on edge just street riding?

Scrub any tire to its edge? Its easy. Lean the opposite way. Insane chicken strip erasing maneuver garaunteed to impress all that show up at the Sonic!

Really people, really...

[Yamerhaw]

uh, yep

Also depends how you ride......If you are clueless and ride your sportbike like a dirt bike (not hanging off..... Pushing the bike down while your upper body is still pointing straight up), then yeah you'll erase the chicken strips quickly. But you won't be very fast.

Thats exactly what my sarcastic response was trying to say....Anyone that looks to the strips is not really a rider...

Damn, smiley you are one of the guys I would love to ride with on this board, the intent behind the thread is just what the title says, it's not about impressing someone by not having strips but more or less the difference between the ease of getting there with the 190/55 vs 190/50 tire profiles. You have been around long enough to know the curves will separate the men/women from the boys/girls...

Dont take offense at anything I say, especially on a Friday after I start drinking rum and coke at 10 AM

I'm taking offense that you are drinking rum and coke and are not sharing it with me!

LOL! I think I am too drunk to drive home! 'shhh, I am at work!' And I have to mow when I get off.

BTW along these lines I rode a wkend back with a young man and his Suzy 750. He pulled off twice complaining he had felt his rear skipping and slipping. Turns out too much pressure in the rear but I complimented him on feeling the limit before he rode over it. I told him to leave the tired as is and feel out the limits so he can recognize them when he lowers the pressures for aother ride. Kids got potential...
