Well you're spoiled for good, now, Racinchef. ;)

Really, nothing says "dresser" like a set of whitewalls.

I was thinkin' about WW when I bought my new tires but Metz doesn't make a rear in the size I needed.
I guess it was a blessing in disguise as then I would have to clean the tires every time I washed the bike. Haven't washed any of the tires on the Nomad so far. Why start now

I went with the Metzeler WWW on the front....

Went with the 160/80B-16 BW GL1500 on the back.... it's pretty much hidden anyway!!

Actually rode it as a blue-wall till I finally washed the blue off!

I tend to spray them down when I wash my bike about once every two weeks. Just spray it on the dry tire, wait a few minutes and re-spray. Then take a wet sponge and wipe it clean.....WHITEWALLS Whiter than Colage...eat ur heart out Orbitz Gum!!

VulcanE, I'm still at the Border Patrol Academy for another 6 weeks.

The French-Canadian in me almost went with whitewalls only in the front, but I figured, "what the heck", and went all the way. They sure look purty!

Awesome! I now certify you 2nd fastest Nomad on the planet; mine is faster cause I got visors on all my lamps AND a studded Mustang seat with driver's backrest

spirello, not only are the WW's nice, so are the ghostly smoke rings? Just kidding.
We'll have to hook up and ride sometime...seeing that you're in Fairview.

Very nice WWalls, Racinchef. Makes me want to get a set for myself.

Cabby, hope all is going well in Border school.

Spirello.....I hate to say it, but ghosts have taken over your ride.
