I doubt the challenge will last till next weekend. Hopefully another hyperfest friendly challenge pops up next weekend.

I have just a little less strip than he does. Street riding and all.

Can't speak for the low oil LOL. What do you expect, it's a duc.

devil's advocate: could be a new tire... still "gradually increasing lean angle"
my strips are about 2/3 that size, tires only have 500 miles on them, and I'm a newb rider.

Meh, chicken strips don't mean much. You can scrub tires in one quick run. Now, if the center was bald and he had strips, that'd be different.

Not really... My strips are about a 1/4 inch in the back, none in the front. None of that was done in Norfolk, where I live. I have to drive through the tunnel all the way up to Williamsburg to find roads good enough that I feel confident enough to start trying to get my knee down. The roads up there are really nice. I live near the beach, sandy, rocky concrete roads with asphault patches are the norm. Even with me hanging way off I really can't get low because the tires are skipping and sliding over changing traction surfaces. All of this is why I'm seriously considering trading my Ninja for a WR250X.

cliffs: depends on the bike and where he lives.
