Default tire pen

So what do you think of this:

Is that really gay? Would it affect the bike and traction at all? I think it would look pretty sweet I've never seen a bike with this. Someone posted in the 600rr section and no one replied to this part of his question so I thought I'd ask here. Let me know what you think.

It's sort of a cool idea. I'm not really into show bikes but you can definately make your bike stand out with that. I wouldnt ever do it to my bike and I wouldnt trust that stuff in the rain or canyon carving.

Well I go slow in the twisties but if you say bad idea then screw it I don't want to risk losing any traction as it already seems like my back tires slides but thats probably just because I suck. haha

Thanks

I have seen a few guys with that stuff on their tires, it look good (if you like that kind of thing) but as soon as they drive down the road it gets all dirty. I personally think it looks gay, but thats just my .02 if you like it go ahead and get it

It kinda reminds me of gel pens from 5th grade... I think it would look pretty nasty after awhile of riding.

Yah i agree. Never had a pair but a friend did and they were a little slick and even worse in the rain. And looked like crap when they got scufed up.
