i 2 of my so called pal's keep on about my so called chicken strip's,in my case turkey strip's,i ride to the best of my ability,don't really care what other's think.i wouldn't want to end up in one of these 

You could still end up in one these even without having a spill on a bike.                    But you are right.           Never ride above your skill levels.

Chris,
One thing I've never understood though is the direction of the sipes on the front tyre of a PR4. Its as though they squirt the water inwards !   

Also the sipes will only be good for the first few hundred miles in any case, as after that time they will be worn away as the sipes are not cut as deep as the thread on the tyre.

At last someone talking sense on a tyre thread.  ALL modern tyres are pretty fantastic, and if you fitted any of em to a bike in the IOM, then put someone who is half good on the bike they would LAP the course at 100 mph, with no problem at all.   And that fact says to me that, they are all brilliant road tyres for the masses.
