    Now you can be the guy we watched struggle to change his tire at the track. I think he had the same one.

    Then he was an idiot. I can do it with much less superior tools in about 15 minutes once the wheel is off the bike. Quicker with an extra set of hands...

    I'll wait to you post something trashing the trailer too...

    For the money, you can't go wrong with the trailer. I have a ton of miles on mine, and have exceeded the load limit (by over 2x) and that baby is still chugging along.
    The price yesterday was $199. Did the price go up overnight, or is that a different link ?

    I know it, bruddah! How many times've I used it??? 137 times? Hell, if it only lasts a coupla years, it's worth the small price...

    It probably was funny! But even using 8" 'spoons', I've got it down to about 15-20 minutes. It may not be quicker with that set-up, but it'll sure as hell be easier!

    Nevermind...it is $199. I hit "refresh" and the correct page showed up. I guess the old page (with the old price) was cached in my work PC.

    Life lesson #521 - Don't attempt to speed up the tire changing process by cutting off the old tire with a saws-all. Those steel cords are WAY tough to cut through. It's quicker to take it off with the spoons...

    Ordered the trailer and some air tool stuff. I've been finding some other schtuff for tire changing, so I'm still shopping around for that...

    Why waist time cutting it down the middle, a nice burnout should do the job just fine

    Jay,

    That's the same trailer that I bought and used this past season. It pulls without a problem. I don't know how NH handles registering trailers, but in CT they require both a bill of sale and a title. I had some problem with Harbor Freight getting the title to me ( took about 8 calls to get someone with a brain ) and received $30.00 compensation for my troubles. I was thinking about getting the tire changer as well. They've got a few good deals on some HVLP gravity sprayguns if your going to be doing some painting with your new paint booth.

    I'm sure you can do it in 15-20 minutes, but that has nothing to do with you being a bitch.
