Getting scuff marks off of vinyl motorcycle seats

[pbirtley]

Hey Guys,

Here is a link to a video I just posted on a way to get scuff marks off the seats. It doesn't requires no chemicals. I've tried a lot of things but this actually works. Below is the link:

Questionable

I'd be suspicious of this link.

Good call mkrouse. This does not look legit.

What do you guys find suspicious?

For starters - what I find to be an odd location for the dot in the middle of the word tube. None of my saved youtube links split youtu be into such two parts.

This is his first post. I'd start at new members and introduce myself before I proclaimed, "Hey guys" with quite this much familiarity. His profile contains not one whit of useful motorcycle related information.

Someone else can be brave and click on it and report back. Not me!

It takes you to a youtube video just like the OP said.

Guys, I've seen youtube use the ".be" many many times. I don't quite know the reason, but it's legit!

Found this online:

"when you see a youtu.be link it means it's the short form. It's just a function added for blogs and twitter so you don't max the message length with giant links."

So instead of http://www.youtube.com it becomes just http://youtu.be.

And the video is pretty interesting. Wonder if it would work on my starboard side pannier that has scuff marks from my boot hitting it when getting off the bike?

Hey, welcome to the forum! Thanks for showing up with something useful. Kinda scary as usually a first post is someone PO'd cuz they found out they paid $2.00 more for an oil filter
For the nervous-

Thanks again.

Don't think so, probably only works on soft vinyl. Basically heating the vinyl by friction. I've had similar seat scuffs disappear just from sitting in the sunlight.

Yep, you are right. The heat opens the cells in the vinyl allowing them to relax while cooling. A friend showed me a way to take scuffs out of hardwood, with a hockey puck. Worked awesome.

You guys and your hockey pucks...many uses it seems

Yet, another reason why my neighbours to the south should be be grateful that that their neighbours to the north love the thought that our neighbours to the south think that their 80% content Canadian Hockey teams be all dat and sumeting too.

Next time you see your bike side stand sinking in the asphalt on a hot summer day, send me $1.00 for every time you wish you had a hockey puck. Send me $2.00 if you swear out loud and use my name.

The hockey puck rub does work and that makes 10,001 reasons why you should have, well, lots of hockey pucks around the house.

Seems with old age comes a "I thought I had my leg up far enough"
I have some BMW Santiago Boots that are real nice. They come with a metal toe protector that slices everything within a 100' of me thinking of wearing them Took 'em off.....much more betterer.

I was 17 when my sister got married. I was "in" the wedding. During the rehearsal as I walked down the aisle the minister shouted from the front of the church, "If you can't walk without doing that barnyard shuffle you are out of this wedding." I stiffened up for the real thing.

That's funny. I'm laughing.
