Those turns are near identical, the Eri side has the manhole cover too, so typically tends to be slower :lol

Not a bad speed though. Must be nice having it on the way to the house.

I still love the turn, I’m just _a lot_ more cautious around it now.

Chicken strips are the un-used or scrubbed portions of your rear or front tire.

They get un-used because the rider doesn’t lean far enough over.

Leaning comes with balls and skill.

Typically it’s a quick way to judge other riders of their skill, holding some exceptions because everybody considers themselves Rossi when you talk to them.

Leaning like this, leaves no chicken strips.
