Chicken strips are the most misleading sign of a "good" rider.

I have no chicken strips on the left side of my tires. Why is that? Because of a U-turn I have to do on the way home. This is NOT a tight U-turn (about 4 lanes) and it is not at high speed (maybe 10 mph). I just have a little fun leaning the bike over through the turn with absolutely NO riding technique at all.

Now the right side of my tires probably has about 1/4th" on strip left because I rarely have to turn right. The closest I get is a large S-Turn on the way to work that I could easily do at max speed on the 250 and not have to lean to the edge.

I'd love to get a track day in and see how far I can really lean it the right way, but that cost a little more $$ then I have atm.
