Tires?! I was hoping for some motorcycle porn ;-)
I read the thread title and thought someone else bought a BMW.

I'm not so sure I'd take credit for that. My intent was to show how each step is done using the rear tire, and let Chromy do the same step using his front tire. I think it was a good hands-on experience for Chromy so he can determine if it's something he wants to undertake later on. Using tire irons is a little labor intensive, but the results are the same. Another buddy came over for his front tire change, so tire irons were waving back and forth for awhile. I was a little concerned a couple times in fear that someone's face might get accidentally whacked by one. All in all, it was a great way to spend a rainy Sunday, build up a sweat, and enjoy the comraderie with fellow riders. <Ken>Howasat "took one for the team" and tackled the rear tire mounting.
We sure were flinging those irons around. Sometimes we had six hands in the mix, not including the no-mar monkey grips. We had a great "man day" wrenching in Hoowasat's garage.Using tire irons is a little labor intensive, but the results are the same.
