trooper, I went with an 18 x 130 up front (metz, DNA) because I don't like the look of a skinny 21" from the front (two could fit inside that wide fender). Love a 21" from the side though.

I wanted to keep some meat up front plus losing the hubcap really opens the front up.

I'm torn though. I'd still like to get some DNA fat spokes, but I'd probably stick with 18" up front.

Also, I like to see a lot of rubber on the back end too so I'm iffy on an 18" rear. If I could scare one up I'd go with a 17" 200mm back there on a fat spoke DNA.

Whittier is a small town in SoCal east of los angeles on the border of Los Angeles and Orange County. Richard Nixon was born in Whittier and they filmed many scenes from Back to the Future in the town. The girls are all fine as hell and there are plenty of places to hang out without feeling like The Big City...Good place to own a home and I dont think I will ever leave except maybe to move to Pasadena.

I hate Los, I work on the weekend off of Santa Fe and get that mad traffic on my way home. I told my lady **** for everyone that "loves Los" they Sure as hell look like everyone is trying to leave in a hurry. I'm surprised I haven't smashed past you on the 60 I ride the Vicla almost everyday except for this past month I started taking the train again.

If they are not steel toe then I buy them myself!!! Also, the bike posted by 88vicla, are the pipes 39" or the 42" pipes?

My boots are special edition Dr. Martens 1460's, they aren't steel toes.

I saw about 4 or 5 "viclas" at a small car show here in El Paso not so long ago but they are still rare to see when you are out riding. Here is a couple of pics of mine. This is a trip we took out to Colorado.
