Your thinking, yeah no shit. We'll a buddy of mine did just that. Then he rode his bike around the corner to show his buddy his clean '06 R1 Raven edition, oh yeah, only wearing shorts and shoes and nothing else, yes no helmet. He is about 6'4" and a good 300lbs of mostly muscle, but no damn brains..:eek: He hit the first corner, high sided and was thrown off his bike and knocked out cold. He got lucky only a concussion and road rash and he was only going about 20mph, maybe. This happened a month ago, then today we were looking at his bike in the shop where it is getting repaired and sure as shit, tires had armorall all over them. I called him and asked and he said, sure I put it on there how else do you clean them. Aww man.... Now he knows, hard lesson to learn.

My neighbor put that shit on his tires to take pictures and sell it. I damn near yelled at him man to tell him not to ride it and take a scrub brush and probably steel wool to it before he even pulled out of the driveway. It sold so quick he never rode it or scrubbed off the tires after putting that armor-all on. I'll bet the buyer wrecked it going out of his driveway.
True story

How can a person with any sense think to themselves... hmmm... "let me put something shiny and slippery on my tires."... 6'4" 300lbs on a 600cc bike lol must have been funny to watch.....

Squids... thinking how it Looks first and how it rides second..

I can believe it...... this one guy on a car forum a few years back armor-alled his tires on his IS300 for that "wet tire look".

He went out for a drive and wrecked the car..... think that's stupid? Well there's more..... the guy ended up threatening to sue the tire manufacturer for a "defective tire".

Some people are IDIOTS.

Hand your keys to someone else if you found this thread useful, you don't deserve a bike.

An IQ test should be a standard at all bike dealerships, no thinky no ridey.

the guy i bought my bike from armor all'd the tires. I put the bike in my truck, got home, and promptly scrubbed the tires with a brush and soap for 20 minutes.

shiny tires won't sell a bike, unless the buyer is an idiot, so maybe it will.

:lol I don't understand how people can do such stupid things. I mean, if you're dumb and you put any thought into it at all, you'd still probably realize that it's probably not a good idea. These mistakes have got to be made by just not thinking at all. The funny part is that if people ask about his crash, the guy either has to tell a really embarrassing story or lie about it.

I think the next generation is gonna be even dumber........seems Common Sense is leaving are youths as each decade goes by. Hell, Kids these days dont even know what crank windows are, they get in a classic car and actually look for the freakin power window switch, then are to stupid to figure it out without having to explain to them how a Crank window works!!!!

The battery died in my keyfob one day and I was bitching that I was locked outta my truck. Took me a minute to realize I could just put the key in the door and unlock it. Habits are a bitch.
