    JB, it can't be that hard. When I removed my wheels on my old Japanese bikes I just did it. Its a learning curve thing. You should learn how to do it.

    got a bit of a story on getting a ride to the hospital. About 5 years ago I was going through a stressful period in my life..waay too much work, too much union stuff. I thought I was having a heart attack so stupid me phoned work first..not coming in. I didn't phone for an ambulance..I got my wife to drive me. Before we take this any further I will say that my wife is the best thing that ever happened to me, she is a real sweetheart. She is also a very careful cautious driver. She stopped at every stop sign and red light. It was the longest car ride I had ever taken..[not really but I was in a lot of pain] As it turned out it wan't a heart attack but thenext time I feel this bad..I'm taking an ambulance.....or a cab................:)

    My wife is the best thing that ever happened to me as well. When that bike came out from under me, all I could think about was saving her. the bike and myself was completely secondary.

    But why not take the bike next time???? :D

    That is funny because I can relate. When I had my heart attack a few years back my very cautious wife did the same thing :roflmao: She also parked across the parking area instead of at the entrance to the ER I walked across the parking lot, we can still laugh about that one. I'm with you an ambulance would have been better.

    I have been told that Latus Motors here in Portland has some of the best tire prices in the country, glad their close by. I always pull the wheels and bring it to them. Except, I'll probably have to have a tire put on while on our trip. :(

    Well, in reality so is he because we have a joint checking and that is where all the money goes in and goes out! Sometimes goes out faster than goes in!! LOL!! So that's what we will be paying for the tire!! :D
