As a former RideOn dealer, I wouldn't put that stuff in anything.

Military uses it in low-speed applications.

Contractually, I'm am not allowed to say anything too negative about that product, but I would be leary of putting in anything with a high speed application. Your results and opinions may vary. . . .

Contractually huh? i didnt sign a contract when i became a dealer.

OTR trucking companies have used it for years.

I have hit 135 mph with Ride On with no issues (yes, on a bike)

Kind of like saying a lot and saying nothing. If you are going to post such a statement, you should back it up with facts rather than innuendos. The product has been used successfully for years by thousands of vehicle owners. " I not allowed to say anything too negative" I called BS unless you have some facts to back up your statement.

Tell us more, If you ain't selling it no more.... You should be able to cash that check if you gonna write it...Max i go on my bike might be 90, maybe 105 if i'm lucky so i don't really consider that high speed...

What sold me on Ride-On was a tech article written many years ago in Rider Magazine by the late Larry Grodsky. He was a well respected m/c safety instructor who conducted the test. My hope using the product is that if I run over something that the bike tire won't deflate at a very fast speed, allowing me to maintain control. Hell, I have towing insurance to get the bike to a tire repair facility/home vs. being stranded out in the middle of no where...

I ordered the Ride-on from Amazon. But I thought it strange that you can buy the car stuff in a 16oz bottle for the same price as the 8oz MC version....if there is a difference. Got me wondering.
