Sure, My buddy Marc has a chicken strip elimination class running that begins every time his bike starts.Uh, a little help here? Can you use that in a sentence?
And I don't mean those delicious morsels of fowl that are patiently waiting under heat lamps at the corner gas station. So, what is meant by chicken strips?
To directly answer your question. "Chicken Strips" are the unused strips of tread closest to the sidewalls. The width of this section of the tire indicates how "chicken" the rider is to lean his bike over. More agressive riders willl wear this area away before the center of the tire is worn out.

Of every 100 riders I know there are a couple who actually wear the edges before the center. They do track days and ride in the mountains most of the time. ...............)
+1when i see that sort of wear from a bike ridden on a track i am impressed, a bit envious and echo the "atta boy" sentiment. When i see it on a bike that was ridden solely on the street i think "idiot".
Atta boy!
I am not concerned about the rider who has chicken strips, but rather the rider who cannot USE his chicken strip.
I've seen too many riders go into a corner too hot, then not make the turn because they were scared to lean the bike over. If they had leaned hard, used that virgin area of the tire, they would have made the turn. THAT is the issue to me. Have the skill, and use it if or when it is needed.
A low side means you never gave up and used everything the bike/tires had to give . Hitting a guard rail, while upright, means you gave up.
