I think I get it now. Chicken strips are the unworn strips around the outside of your tire. If it is wide it means you are scared to lean the bike over very far in the turns, hence "chicken strips."

Originally, I thought it had something to do with underwear. :blink:

wireman: now I'm hungry. I think the BK drive-through is open.

When assessing chicken strips also check for the bottoms of footpegs ground off. And their shoes!

Also check turn signals for the rider who went just a tiny bit past the point of adhesion. ;)

My old case savers show evidence of biting off a little more than could be chewed. Being that its on both sides, I guess I'm not a very fast learner!
Mine:
04 Honda rebel 250(wifes)
04 GSXR 750(bolt on galore)
98 CBR 600F3(filter, pipe, adjustable cam sprokets, dyno tune)
76 KZ900A (LTD gauge pods, crash bars, LTD(style)pipes, dyna coils and ignition,headwork and mild port cleanup by cavanaugh racing, K&N filter pods, heck I dunno.
