Ready to put new tires on the cycle tomorrow OR a motorcycle with four tires

'73 H1 Triple · 06-26-2009, 09:49 PM

My friend Jess is going to help me mount a set on Bridgestone BT-021's on my ZR1100 tomorrow.

I have the tires on the motorcycle ready for the 60 mile ride over to his house where he has the equipment to change them.

The backpack has a few tools in it and will also have my coffee thermos in it tomorrow morning.

thats just typical friday evening cargo for me when my bike is running/riding right. still a fun one to do. next try it with 140 pounds of scrap metal..... things get interesting then.

I know I abuse my bike, but hey, it gets shit done.

My nextdoor neighbor "scraps" so if I have anything to recycle, I send it with John.

Back in around 1982, I had the choice of a car or a cycle. The cycle won so everything was done with the bike. I knew how much groceries I could carry and how to bring home a case of beer

Snow was a real joy, good thing work was only 2 miles away.

Yep living with just a cycle can be fun! I used to strap tires to my back pack style with rope or carry them "Michelin Man" style. Good times...
