I figured this was the right forum since it deals with tires. I just wanted to pass along my experience that I had this past Saturday in southwest Oklahoma City.
I went there to pick up a 2005 Yamaha Road Star to ride back to Nebraska. When I got there, the bike's rear tire was showing cords. It was early morning and the owner told me about a shop at 2300 S. Agnew Ave. that was a motorcycle tire shop.
The owner of the shop took this bike and removed the rear wheel and saddlebags, put on a new tire and put the wheel and bags back on and only charged me $25 for the labor. I thought that was extremely reasonable and his wife told me that if I had brought my own tire in, it would have only been $35.
When you are stranded and find a deal like that, it feels like you just hit a small lottery. At least it did for me. Especially needing to ride nearly 500 miles to get back home.
I would just like to give this shop it's due props and recommend it to all GSR members living in the OKC area.
Thanks for reading,
Larry
