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.

I've used tire irons to change them on the ground, I've used alke46's homemade tire changer setup and it's better, I've used Joe Nardy's NoMar and it's better yet, Then I bought this the other day and it beats them all. 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."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

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...

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...

Greg, wanted to say thanks for posting that video. I just bought a Rabaconda and changed my first tire with it. The rear on the Tracer, Road Smart IV. Went really smoothly, your video definitely helped!'20 Ducati Multistrada 1260S, '93 Ducati 750SS, '01 SV650S, '07 DL650, '01 DR-Z400S, '80 GS1000S, '85 RZ350

I just did tires last weekend, the old fashioned way.
I always tell myself this is the last time I'm doing this, I'm getting a tire machine!
Last weekend was motorcycle maintenance weekend. Tires, brakes all around, oils changed and a thorough wash.
Thursday I'm taking it to the shop for brake fluid change, coolant flushed, air filter replacement. Most importantly, get that service light turned off!My Motorcycles:

The Rabaconda's expensive, but I figure it'll pay for itself pretty quickly just on regular changes. Plus it makes swapping tires around to get all the use out of them more feasible.'20 Ducati Multistrada 1260S, '93 Ducati 750SS, '01 SV650S, '07 DL650, '01 DR-Z400S, '80 GS1000S, '85 RZ350
