It's embarrassing when people post "look at my bike, isn't it cool?!" type pics with glaringly obvious chicken strips.

Nicely done!
Not everyone has access to a track or area where they can utilize the entire tire.

It's really funny to me since my gf is still less than a year on a bike and those tires are brand new....as in zero miles...as in I installed them and took pictures....as in I have no idea what he's talking about...

I would imagine that it is just from seeing all of the crap that collects on my dark wheels.

My father had a car way back in the day that was white on white and man it looked killer when clean BUT white interior...what a pain in the azz and I thought to myself...NEVER for me.

He's right though... no chicken strips!

Hell, just to impress everyone, I'm only going to take bike pics when brand new, never ridden tires on.

I've got a new set of Pilot Power 2ct's that I haven't mounted yet but plan to at least mount the rear this weekend...I'll have to take a few pics to have on hand.

That pipe looks so out of place with all the pink

Nice bike for a girly girl, but I think the rearsets are "too much" pink. But thats IMO, who cares, etc etc.
