DIY - Simple tire modification

I used a Sharpie Paint Pen to make a nice looking mod to my motorcycle's tires.  I think it gives it the look of a racing motorcycle, mixed in with a little throw back whitewall-esque flavor.  It was simple, all I did was clean the gunk off the sidewalls with an old t-shirt (soap and water), and dried it, then marked it up.  Only heads up I would give is to maybe use a rag, rather than a t-shirt because the old lint tends to stick onto the tires' surface.  Also, use a steady hand, as I messed up on the 'B' in Bridgestone and just decided to color in that top portion of the 'B'
