Your chicken strips are pretty small. Mine are little bigger. You can't see them in my picture because I just brought it home from the dealer. I like the Busas that come around on bike night. They have chicken strips, legs and thighs. :hilarious
Yeah i love the split seat over the new banana seats on the f4i. But that wasn't the most recent pic of my bike. When i put on my diablo corsa tires, there weren't strips left.

chicks at the track winning is impressive, but on the straight aways they usually and hopefully have the incredible advantage of (lack of weight). something like every 1 lbs = 7-8 lbs in momentum. a chick that weighs 60 - 80lbs less than you can get the same bike going a lot faster than you.

I couldn't have one even if I really wanted to.
My uncle had an accident with his and it put him in the E.R. and I.C.U. for 4 months. That was 8 years ago, and he now has to walk with a cane and he got a STAF infection from the hospital.
He went OFF an overpass, his motorcycle flipping at least 7 times with him still on it.
I don't wanna motorcycle.

Not a big deal, but I think you misundestood what I was saying. I was referring that I liked the liter better in that I now own the 1000RR liter bike and sold the f4i 600.

I know what you mean. My 1000RR came with the Corsa Diablos. Huge difference over the Dunlops that came on my F4i. I still have chicken strips though. Not big ones, but they are still there. One reason is we don't have a lot nice curves in Florida. I have to get up to Deal's Gap one day.

The PM forward controls bolt right up. They come with a new shift link. The stuff that company makes is astounding; but spendy.

Yeah tires make a huge difference in your bike. But i learned the single most important thing is having your suspension dialed in by a pro. We use a shop in Washington NJ that charges $30 and it makes your bike feel completely different.
Oh and chicken strips don't make a rider. Some of the best riders i know have bigger strips then me.

Jacksonville. I've always wanted to go but I have to admit that it's a little intimidating. I have a group of friends that go to Jennings all the time and always try to get me to go. I'll get out there one day. I'm just afraid I'll wad up my new 1000.
A group of locals here are going to be buiding a raceway in Jacksonville late this year or next year if all goes well. It's going to be sweet! Here is that last plans they had when it was 600 acres but it is obsolete as they are now planning a 700 acre location:

Yeah, I've got to get around setting up my suspension. Right now it's in the mid setting from the factory but it's not far off. Ideally that's for around a 180 lb rider and I'm probably around 190 now with full gear.
I know chicken strips don't matter much. I hang off a bit in the corners and "kiss the mirror" so the bike lean isn't as much as some of my friends that don't lean off or actually lean up to stay horizontal pushing the bike way down. I stay away from them as I can just see them breaking traction and getting pitched into a highside.
