Motorcyclists have an expression, “Keep the shiny side up!” There’ s a shinny side (fairings, tank, chrome and such) and a rubber side (tires). So literally keep the shiny side up means don’t drop the bike or crash it or run into anything. Less precisely it means “Have a nice day!” in motospeak.

My son-in-law sent me this photo, which he saw on www.desmonorthwest.com, was taken by Patrick Andraste of a model, Jade Indica.

In any event, it provides a slightly different spin on the notion of keeping the shiny side up. Of course you may want to enlarge it by clicking on the photo below.
