Title: Chicken Strips should be renamed - Bacon Strips!!!
Post by: CairnsDuc on July 11, 2008, 05:18:39 PM
G'day all

We all know how the whole Chicken strips thing works on the side of your tyres, and for those that don't a brief Synopsis - The unused portion of the Tyre tread on either side of the part that touches the road, meaning you are to chicken to lean the bike right over in the turns. So these shiny unused portions of the tread section stand out like dog's balls, Hence the term Chicken Strips.

But as Ducati riders we like to be a little different from the rest of the World (And I mean that in a good way)
Let the Japanese bike riders refer to there Chicken strips

We should have  [bacon] Strips!!!

Who's with me?  [thumbsup]
Or should I double my medication?  :P

You know those tires that smoke red when you do burn outs?

Well, if they made tires that smelled like bacon when you did burn outs, or when they get really hot. ID BE DOWN!!!

Flaw:

You want to be rid of chicken strips. Why, though, would you want to eradicate bacon?

No, but it gives me a good excuse to keep riding like a little girl  [cheeky]
Also with the roads here in Northern Australia, I'll never get that far over to remove them  [thumbsup]

I don't know... I've heard Bacon Strips used as a term for skid marks in underwear.


I don't really want people hearing me talking about someone's bacon strips and thinking shit stains....

On second thought, it could gross people out... I'm all for it!

Wouldn't that make "bringing home the bacon" a *bad* thing?



Let's not confuse any potential bringers of bacon.

Ah! I know! We could name them Turkey bacon strips! Then it would all make sense.


No one would want to have 'em.
No one would admit to having 'em.
And IZ would always have 'em with his perpetually new tires!  [laugh]

Turkey bacon has its place...just don't call it bacon. It's more like salty turkey strips. I personally like salty turkey strips, but it doesn't even come close to good ol' bacon... [bacon]

Sooner or later I post this pic on any bike forum I'm on, so some of you have likely already seen it. Anyway, to accompany the above description, I give you "chicken strips";

Beggin strips?

Hmmm... this could explain why dogs sometimes chase the bike.

And it makes me wonder if anyone here ever tried Beggin Strips to see how close to bacon it is?

60 grit on a belt sander.  ;)

I have a problem with switching the name to  [bacon] . I can live without chicken strips. But shit, take my  [bacon] away and imma feel bad. Can I put the rubber back on the edge of my tire?

Someone takes their bike to a track day and doesn't hang off of it.  AT ALL.

I can't tell if those are Pilot Race tires or not, but if they are somebody wasted a big chunk of change.

Let us know if you do...here's the ingredients list. :P

Ground wheat, corn gluten meal, wheat flour, ground yellow corn, water, sugar, glycerin, soybean meal, meat, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, bacon fat (preserved with BHA), salt, phosphoric acid, sorbic acid (a preservative), calcium propionate (a preservative), natural and artificial smoke flavors, added color (Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1, Yellow 6), choline chloride.

Don't ride for about five months, then take your relatively new (~ 1000 miles) 996 to a trackday just for yucks.

Go alone after your riding buddy cancels the night before because it's supposed to rain. Show up late so you're nice and calm when you get there. (It's ok though, I wasn't there to set any personal records, just screw around and get a feel for the bike. I didn't even have knee sliders on my leathers.) 

Pull off the track during your second session because A) you feel like a complete prat trying to get comfy on a bike you were never too familiar with to begin with (while it seems like every GSXR rider there is using you as their personal benchmark) and B) the sky's so dark you can't see shit through your tinted shield. Get rained on while putting the bike on the trailer, then spend two hours driving home in a thunderstorm.

It was pretty much a primer on how NOT to do a trackday. Then again, I didn't crash so I had that going for me.

That's the original 190 Michelin the bike came with, BTW.  I thought it was pretty funny when I saw it so I took a few pics. Whatever. Not everyone can be a GP star but I don't drink coffee, so Starbuck's is out...

That's ominous.  Not that the rest of the ingredients sound great, but "meat" isn't very descriptive.
Probably goes better with beer than skittles do.  I won't be doing a write-up on it, though.  ;D
