    If we've done business together, please leave me feedback. Thank You!:

    Ok, I have to share this. As I've mentioned earlier, I have the Harbor Freight manual changer, and it does ok on stock steel wheels. But on my SX, I have the Douglas red label aluminum rims, and I don't trust the HF changer for this. Or maybe I should say I don't trust MYSELF for this. The aluminum gets messed up too easily. So I took it too our local tire shop, and I asked them if they could change it (which they did before when they were under different ownership) WITHOUT scratching and gouging up the rims. They said they couldn't, and suggested I take it to Country Cycle, the local motorcycle/ATV shop.

    Well, Country Cycle and I have history, and I usually avoid them, but I wanted these tires done this weekend. So I asked if they could do them, and they said MAYBE they could get them done today, and it would be $37.50 if I bought the tires from them, and $42.50 if I bought them somewhere else. FOR EACH TIRE!

Welcome to America, where the biggest is best and even fat people who are too lazy to shift can climb a mountain.
