Seems like I have tried everything from WD40 to plain ole elbow grease. This stuff is baked on. Surely there is a way to get this stuff off, I’m sure this happens to alot of people who have had a first time rider or two on the back of their bike.

Do they sell ankle guards to give you protection on a motorcycle?

Published on July 17, 2010 By nibbsbitt

Instead of buying a big boot, you would have a normal shoe and put the ankle guard on over your normal shoe and your normal pants, and it would protect your ankle in case of a crash. I have seen ankle braces for sprained ankles, but I know plastic can melt if you’re skidding along [...]
