Baby got a new pair a shoes!!

I finally got everything back together and she's ready to go. I went with white walls this time. I hope I don't regret it come cleaning time. But I like the look and accept the fact they will require some extra time to keep them looking good. I put Metzlers on again. The last set gave me 12000 miles which ain't so bad. The old tires were badly scalloped on the rear and not so much on the front. I hope the new skins will smooth out the ride.

What we need around our area is a couple good hard rains to wash the roads down. The residual sand and small rocks are keeping me from heading out!! Last year I licenced April 4 and this year we are about a month ahead as far as spring goes. Winter here was almost a non event.

I like the white wall look too, looking forward to hearing about your decision by summers end---easy to clean?

**ringadingh** · 03-04-2010, 07:07 PM

Its lookin good. We could use a good rain here as well to wash away the salt.

**Jared** · 03-04-2010, 07:11 PM

I love white walls! Nice looking bike!

speedbyu · 03-04-2010, 07:45 PM

That could easily be my new screen saver. I kinda miss my old bike. :'(

I don't usually like whitewalls, but your bike look's greaaaat with them. Very clean looking. You have a nice looking bike anyway,and I can see you keep it clean,so i'm sure it will be a pleasure to clean those puppies when the time comes. :-)>

**biscuitsngravy** · 03-04-2010, 08:57 PM

It looks cool, lomax. Very cool!! BnG

**GIBBY** · 03-05-2010, 08:09 AM

Kooooooool

**Griz** · 03-05-2010, 08:36 AM

Those whitewalls look great Lomax, I think the way it looks will be worth the extra cleaning time.

lomax · 03-05-2010, 09:08 AM

...Thanks for all your nice compliments! One among many fine looking bikes here at Kawanow. :)

They are not that hard to clean I use white wall bleach you can get it at any autoparts store and a stiff brush. I just spray in on the tire dry let it sit for a min scrub it with a wet brush and hose it off takes about 2min a tire. To me its worth a couple of extra min for the look. love the bike.
