It came out of nowhere ... like a bolt of lightning!! Laughing

I am so tight, I actually just pulled it out and re-fitted the tyre using an innertube - and then continued to use it until it was at the wear markers!! Cool

@ blue_sv650s, i didnt rate my BT020's much, i found they didnt grip too well when cold, and wore out too quick.

I know I am not the best rider in the land but the 20 miles I just did I was like a little old lady on a zimmer frame going round corners. Lovely sky though, heated gloves still winning just shitty, salty, mucky, damp roads making me cry and stay vertical.

minre are similar to the first post - but shinier because i've not leant it over that far at all yet.
i've done just about 200 miles on the bike sinice i bought it a month ago (i crashed it in the middle and had it off the road for over 2 weeks) and it's been so cold and icy i just cant do it ... but come the summer i'll take both right to the edge like the last ones i had were - same bike (zzr600 - just htis is newer) and same tyres (dunlop road smarts) so i have no worry about getting them competly gone in a single ride once i have the good weather. but it's january in wales - so the cold, wet and ice is keeping the chicken strips laughing Sad

and making me feel worse because i have new leathers - so if i stop the bike i look like a summer rider with chicken strips and shiny leathers .... which is why im sat wearing the trousers around the house now to wear them in a bit !


ride safe on the ice guys - chicken strips are good this time of year

Thats not a Chicken Strip. Its a Spongebob Squaretyre.


Anyway, Strips on my Pit bike a gigantic. I havnt had a days ride on it since fitting the Michelin Pilot Sports. Only to and from work really. Sad

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/binge/DSC00549.jpg


Not very impressive on the NC30 either. But I just didnt get on with that bike at all. It really didnt handle as well as I hoped.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/binge/DSC00495.jpg


And my NC29. Which was the bike I was most confident on...
Tiny wee strip.
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/binge/19022008509.jpg


And on my Gilera ICE, Which I did rather embarrassingly get my knee down on. Embarassed Laughing

Yep, squared to hell, that is commuting for you Wink

That tyre was taken off at the end of the summer (September IIRC), so that is summer chicken strips too Embarassed

At least the winter pics above have some excuse for being large Crying or Very sad

What is really sad is that I thought I was riding pretty quick at times on that tyre too!! Shocked

So I can only conclude one of two things:-

1: I can't ride for sh1t Very Happy
2: Chicken strips (on the road) indicate more of your riding style than actual speed.
