Nah, they dont look gay, but they are real handy for the blonde bimbos. When the colours gone they need to replace the tyre!

EDIT

P.S. Hows the research going into those clear rim stickers you were talking about at P.I. Dave?

I put up a post in Les's thread about clear rim stickers and only had 1 reply. It was from Les but as no one voted for clear in his poll, he went with something crazy like green...!!!
I'm still trying to get the best deal from the supplier, I think Big W is slightly cheaper than Office Works ATM, but I believe if theres enough interest I could go direct to the manufacture... I believe its selotape or someone like that...
So far the demand has been minimal but I have been able to use some of my sample stock to sticky tape bits of paper together...
Once demand picks up I will be taking out a 2nd mortgage on the property to invest in patents, product, advertising and perhaps a store.
I'm also looking for investors....

I dont know where your reference to porn is from or where you are getting it. I scanned the thread and there is no reference to porn. Porn is only for little teenagers and people who do not get enough of the real thing. Your fascination with it is only stating one thing. If you are going to flame me, at least try a bit harder. Come on, you know you can do it.....

I think I am riding a Kawasaki, meat. You tell me what I am riding, meat. I dont see how this comment is even relevant. Please tell me how people who ride a "kwaka" rider is meant to behave. Enlighten me, oh chosen one..... :roll:

friggin hilarious. Lets see how the fish are biting today....roflmfao

My tyres don't have any tread - I need new ones. :(

Not that I'll be colouring them in when I get 'em.

you asked what people thought, seems most don't like the idea of painting their tyre treads.

if everyone else did it , I still wouldn't.

What :shock: ? an apology before a shitfight - no wonder this site doesn't get moderated very much :D

EDIT* just as an after thought, if you think the tread pens add that extra something to your bike, go for it. As long as you think it look s good, who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks? Personally, I'd rather spend time, effort and money keeping it looking stock but go faster/corner better - but I'm an individual, just like everybody else 8)
