What's a day off? I have been retired 16 years. I dont get days off.....Luckily, my dealer is only an easy 20 minutes away so I grab one of my cars and take the wheel and new tire over to them and pick it up in the afternoon. Do errends on the way....My dealer will usually meet internet prices on tires but I mostly I just buy them over the web. Gas is cheeper than milk here....the tire machine would be neat to have. My problem is that I have lots of things that are neat to have and I have had to add another garage and two storage sheds.....A logistical nightmare either way...
I need to take a day off, have the bike and a car (hence a second person) at the shed, throw the wheels into the car, get to the shop, etc...
Or make an appointment, drop the bike off, no you can't wait, we call when its done, grab a rental scooter to get home, pick my rig up again "somewhen" in the late afternoon...
35,- you might pay when you'd also buy the tires there...
So I can do it relaxed at the evening or on a weekend, carefully clean the wheel flanges, etc...
