BT tires have no "problems" and are a wonderful choice. One; they have a harder center strip for longevity. Two; they have a beauty soft compound outer edge for enduring lay down cornering, which also means you'll have "strips" for a much longer time with them. JUST F'IN RIDE PEOPLE! Don't ever feed into people and their chicken strip bulldunk. Like it says where I surf; No Kooks, No Posers!

Yeah, riding isn't about getting rid of your strips. Just ride for fun! Hell just cause you don't corner all the time doesn't mean you can't !

Went out today for what is bound to be one of my last decent weather rides (about 65F for the high) until Spring, and took a trip back and forth on my favorite road. I'm starting to remember some of the curves rather well, enough that I was getting a little more confident to give it more lean. Came home and remembered this thread...

Front:

Rear:

Rear is about .5" on either side, front is slightly larger more on either side.

Not sure what this says for my ability, don't really care. I'm having fun and that's all that matters.

How could we let this thread die?????

here's mine:

while riding like this:

Daks · June 24th, 2013, 07:36 PM

Mine are pretty much as wide as the freeways I almost solely ride on.

rojoracing53 · June 24th, 2013, 07:40 PM

I manage a different kind of strip

soggybottom · June 25th, 2013, 04:44 AM

This is mine

My bike is not a toy, it's transportation. It mostly does highway miles.

geeker · June 25th, 2013, 06:25 AM

I'll play. This was a after my third session at my first track day.

NevadaWolf · June 25th, 2013, 06:43 AM

There really should be two categories, track and street. Obviously street riders who never go on tracks are never going to safely remove their strips.

Here's a comparison of my street riding (brand new tires) and after two days on the track.

Before: about 100 miles on it, 30 of which were twisties.

After: 184 miles of track!

dfox · June 25th, 2013, 07:41 AM

^ very appropriate for street vs track.

street riders shouldn't be comparing chicken strips.

beren · June 25th, 2013, 08:24 AM

But what do you expect from a 30 something daily highway commuter who doesn't even know where any twisties are?

Kenda Cruiser k671

Listed as touring/ all arround tire here http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/What_ti...l-around_tires

I basically found the cheapest tire off that list.

My Kenda's Floridian chicken strips are much juicer that those of you.

Have you been scrapping pegs?

pegs? lol nowhere close. 26 mile round trip commute. Most of it highway.
Closest I get to "lean angle" is changing lanes.

It cannot be !!!

Those chicken strips correspond with around 45 degrees lean.

NevadaWolf · June 25th, 2013, 11:49 AM

Shh @Motofool, I'm thinking @beren has a secret spot he's trying to hide. Maybe a super secret track that lies under Dallas...

CycleCam303 · June 25th, 2013, 12:06 PM

I wanna play. I have huge strips on my rear tire. The front is meh. These are from street miles only.

CycleCam303 · June 25th, 2013, 12:08 PM

The front

Here's my street chicken strips, before I rounded out the profile of my tires at the track last weekend.

Hernan, not sure if a pregen is even capable of doing 45 degrees lean.

Although, measure my avatar picture with a protractor if you really feel so inclined. It's also in one of my albums on my profile.

Yes, they can.

I have measured the pic of your post #87 and have calculated 43 degrees (via tan^-1) for the frame of the bike respect to vertical.

With the help of your hang-off, those patches were holding as much lateral force as vertical weight.................. good rubber !!!

choneofakind · June 25th, 2013, 02:20 PM

Cool! I love Diablo Scooter tires on the pregen.

anacron · July 26th, 2013, 08:27 PM

About an inch or so left on both sides. I'm having a lot of fun removing the strips.

Don't think I'll be able to get the rest off without taking risks. Not bad for street-only?

choneofakind · July 27th, 2013, 11:56 AM

Again, strips aren't a valid benchmark for good-ness or bad-ness.

As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters.

Fair enough... its been a blast to ride.

Seen as I posted this in another thread it may be time for a
