    You are now at 2!!!
    Seriously, that was a good video. I've been looking at one of those, so a real-world, first time using it video is very helpful.

Can't wait to change more tires.

            I'd be very interested in one of those machines. The price is not offputting in exchange for not having to go somewhere and wait for someone else to do it-especially since I now work in the automotive wheel and tire industry.

              Hey Greg, are you still liking your Rabacanda?
              Is it easy to get the hang of?
              I'm thinking about pulling the trigger and buying one.
              I'm sure it would pay for itself in no time at all...

                I'm glad I have it. Probably used it 3 or 4 times and successfully mounted the tires every time. I won't say I completely have the hang of it yet, but I'm getting there. I bought a BMW GS not too long ago. It needs a special rear wheel adaptor that I bought. Looking forward to trying it out on those wheels when the time comes.

                    Ha! Always trying to help a brother out I see. Thanks! Actually, anytime you want to bring some wheels over I'm happy to change them.

                      Just gouging at you Greg. I am realizing that since I turned 70 I'm not needing tires replaced as often as I yous'ta... Do appreciate the offer... Hoping all is going good for you and yours.
