It's generally not a good idea to use silicone-based tire dressing on motorcycles because of the risk of it migrating to the tread and being a safety hazard. But do any of you like nice clean tire sidewalls, and how do you safely keep them from browning out?

Shoe polish works well, a bit less toxic than brake fluid! Didn't you see The Worlds Fastest Indian?

That was an excellent movie! He was not only fast on a bike, but was pretty good at romancing the ladies. I wonder if all the New Zealand guys are like that

The only thing they leave is NZ, once they get to Aus, they loose the instinct to leave anywhere!
