Thanks for asking: return of the chicken strip, trail braking, biking in the 90s and lots more

  I'll take more notice of what neevsey says, rather than the keyboard moto gp experts.   With or without strips de poulet.

  The best motorcycle channel available in my opinion, always an education. Thanks Neevesy ❤

  Great comments about chicken strips. As an ex Australian Superbike racer from the 90’s all of my road bikes have chicken strips. It’s simply a common miss-belief peps have that is just handed down, without peps having a true understanding (a bit like getting your knee down) another thing I don’t do on the streets. With the right technique you can go around bikes that are at full lean when you’re not. Also, I’m the same with the rear brake as it was something that I’d only use in the wet (even during racing), where now I tend to use it almost everywhere. 👍😎🇦🇺

  One thing about chicken strips I've found in 30 years of riding fast bikes road and track (rear tyres).  There are some quick road riders WITH chicken strips, but I've never found any slow riders WITHOUT chicken strips :)

  When I was a young lad living in London, my dad taught me to cycle behind his bicycle through the bustling, traffic-filled streets. I’ll never forget his advice, he told me: think of everyone driving as an idiot, i.e. they don’t know how to drive, they haven’t seen you, they don’t care etc. and you’ll be safer. Ever since, I just assume every care is going to do the dumbest, least-expected thing. This kept me safe throughout my cycling career, and into my biking career ever since; I’m likely only still here ‘cause of dad.

  Neevsey is such an oracle of riding experience, and such a sensible and modest style of presenting. I love his MCN reviews as they are always so spot on and on point without any entertainment nonsense for the sake of hearing his own voice . He is a motorcycling god . Thank you for these videos 👍

  If you’re that worried about chicken strips, just do what I do to scrub new tyres, go to a car park, find a quiet spot and do multiple slow tight circles with the bike lent right over, you can achieve this by leaning your body in the opposite direction to the bike lean!

  When I am going out on a ride I start to get into the &apos;right&apos; state of mind as I start to put on my gear. By the time I get on the bike I am prepared for the ride ahead and prepared to be at 100% concentration. <br><br>Great video, always informative and good fun. Thanks.
