Second timearound
A flat tyreduring a road trip around Australian in 2012 gave Micha Jostl,
the owner of Upcycled Australia, an idea – how to make use of all those
old motorcycle tyres and inner tubes. The result is a unique range of
handmade accessories – from bags to bracelets – that do the earth
a favour by saving usable materials from becoming landfill.
The Tread belt is a heavy duty item made from the centre
section of a motorcycle radial tyre which is immensely
strong and quite funky looking. The buckle comes in
either brass or silver colour, with lengths of 110, 120
or 130cm. RRP $45.00 plus postage. The Fertile wallet
was formerly an inner tube, so it is water-resistant,
has a zippered change pocket and a note section,
plus six card slots. RRP $39.00 plus postage.

Slickperformer
The Silkolene Pro 4 XPrange of fully synthetic 4-stroke engine oils are designed for all high-performance
motorcycles, both air and water-cooled. XP Technology combats engine wear and reduces friction on all critical load
surfaces at both high temperature operation and on cold starts. There are three grades in the range; 10W-40 for the
majority of modern engines, 15W-50 for larger capacities, especially in hot conditions, and 10W-60 for extreme
conditions and where excessive fuel dilution is encountered. Advantages are increased power output, outstanding
anti-wear properties for pistons, bores, cam lobes and bearings, longer engine life, and corrosion protection.
