Chicken Strips / Lean Angle

[The Spaceman_imp]

Too old to play those games anymore and not many roads to practice the craft in south Georgia. That said, the CB handles well and with some sticky tires would acquit itself well on a challenging road I think.

Keith Code has an article on "Chicken Strips" in the May edition of MotorCyclist. He acknowledged that for a lot of riders (squids) the strips are nothing more than what might be called "penis measures."

But he made another point: "accurately gauging lean angle and traction is a critical safety point. If a cornering situation demands more lean angle than you can safely deliver, you become road bait... The ability to use all of the available lean angle expands your options."
