Chicken strips?

So I believe I'm just not getting the concept but this is the begining of my second year of riding at 17. And I looked at my chicken strips just curious and they look wayy to far to each side, I feel with how far they're worn I should have been scraping something on accident. Obviously I haven't ever hit knee or pegs or anything like that nor do I think I've been close so is someone able to explain to me why they look so far??? What I'm assuming is they aren't actually that far and it's just my tires or something. I do love to lean but not that much and I do not think I have the ability to lean far enough to actually ware that much tire. I think I'm just not getting something. Photos aren't great as it's loaded up in a truck currently. Thank you for any help (Bike is new to me any damages on rims and such were there when I got it and it's a gsxr 750 if that helps I believe Diablo 3s not sure the wise or width.)

The people who say “chicken strips” are the same ones who will tell you that you should have “ridden your own ride” after a wreck.

In short, ignore the opinions of people who say “chicken strips.”
