Show me your chicken strips

[Meshuggah]

After reading https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=196602 and the bike limits thing I was wandering about showing your chicken strips. Mine are pretty bad and actually if there is any1 near London who want to help me get rid of them you're welcome

Towards the end of the year the tyres were very worse for wear. Loads of tread in the middle but had to replace them as zero on the sides

Maybe 4-5mm on the rear of the GSXR, but mostly used for commuting.
It does also depend how much you hang off - probably none on the rear if I didn't hang off at all.
I'm confident I DID get to the limits of the tyres on my SV race bike - ie going around a corner and not only being right on the edge of traction (bike starting to slide) but surpassing it a few times and ending on my arse, when only having gone a little quicker than a previous time.
However, as I tended to hang my whole body off quite a lot, there was still some noticeable chicken strips.

My tyre is square on the YBR, bald as shit Quite alot of chicken strip as when it's anything but bone dry, leaning = sliding

No a great pic, but it's about the only one that shows my back tyre enough to guage them.

And front:

Basically the only "strips" i have are from the last weeks daily commute (and in the rain)..its been about a week since i last went for a good ride, due to weather etc.

Other than that i think the only strip's I had where a bit on the front and very slight on the back (IIRC) left hand side. But i cant remember fully.

Its kinda hard to tell, but i think there are some strips there on the front.

I've got a few mm either side of my rear, and more at the front, but I call them my 'planning ahead strips'. If you're planning far enough ahead you don't need to have it that far over.

Here is another example of my 'strips ... this one was a 2nd hand track tyre when I got it ... you can clearly see the original strip (minimal) and then the new one that I made (maximal)!! https://fc06.deviantart.com/images3/i/2004/176/3/f/Top_Hat_Emote.gif ... you can also see it 'squaring off' a bit!!

I've never really had any until now.

Since I've not ridden for roughly a year+ I'm finding it hard to regain confidence in leaning never mind getting of what strips there is, which is a shame cos my willy waving is minimal atm.

Soon as my bike is roadworthy I'm going to document what they are like 'then' and how long it takes to get 'em scrubbed right off.

Looking at the track bikes, are those tyres very soft compound?

I saw a Ducati parked-up the other day with the rear tyre showing shredded rubber like that and it just suggested "expensive" to be running tyres like that on the road.

ps. My rear tyre doesn't have strips, although the (big 18") front has a few mm -I don't really hang off much.

If you buy new track tyres for the road, very expensive, yes.
If you buy second hand ones from as little as £30 for a decent set (if you’re very lucky anyway), it can actually be a fair bit cheaper than using normal ‘road’ tyres.

new rear and front after 50-60 miles and with a new ohlins rear so not 100% confident in it yet
