    its just a guess and it might make it look rough but how about a wire wheel or an SOS pad?

    Wire wheel is the most common method. Some track guys do that to keep their compounds secret

    You could maybe use a big wood file too if you wanted a little bit more control over the damage done? Just another thought.

    ok, doesn't anyone have a compressor? How about an air sander or grinder to make short work of such things? ....Or you can paint over it.

    So many idiots that can't ride a motorcycle, so few hours to put my boot in their seat!

    Nah,,,,,Most of the Tires these days are Heat Treated....Just because the ATC/ATV's are much faster causing more Friction Equaling More Heat....Desert Tires are the Best for Heat conditions....You can Cook them Longer and at Higher Temps which Acclimates them to the Rough Desert Temps...

    Whats wrong with getting a sharpie and painting over the white anyways? Its so much easier than going out and investing in a tool that you don't really use? Here's a better idea: Go to a tire shop that does retreads and pay them to slice them off. Or again, you can just paint over them and be done with it and go ride instead of creating a Rube Goldberg machine.
