If anybody on this board gets the idea to use some of that Black Magic tire shine stuff on your bike, don't. I sprayed some on the sides of my front tires the other day, and the tires looked great, but that stuff is *SO* slippery. The first turn I took after spraying down the tires almost put me down. The whole front end of my bike started sliding. It was no good. Luckily I was able to keep the bike up. I don't know how, but I'm glad I did. Now I'm just waiting for this stuff to wear off so I can run some curves and stuff again.
