i can never find someone who can take a decent picture of me in a corner

I think we must meet each other again.
A dry sunday in the harbour of Antwerp?

I'll take the photo- en videocam with me, and your problem will be solved.


Okay, on topic.

Two weeks and two good rides on my new Pilot Power 2ct's. I love them!

Only problem is they come back after awhile unless you stay on the rails regularly

well, not as impressive as some of the pics on here, but OK for a Uly i think... notice the full chicken on the front wheels!

I didn't read every post, so it may have already been said. Chicken strips have alot to do with body position. I routinely drag knee at the track and use every inch of tire, on the street I hang off the bike just like at the track and always end up with about a 1/4" on both sides of tire. That's at an aggressive pace as well but because I get so far off the bike does not have to work as hard in the turn. I know other, slower, riders who don't get off the bike at all and they have no chicken strips after a ride. I also know guys who ride wfo on the street, get off the bike as much as me, and have no chicken strips but they are clinically insane lol.

All that aside, you'll never see a Pro AMA bike with chicken strips. If you're touching knee and still have strips, then you're hanging too far off the bike. Regardless of knee drags - the more horizontal lean you get, and still hold traction, the faster you can go. It's just physics.

I don't ride like that on the street anymore. Too many risks. Not worth it. Good for you guys though. More power to you.
