It seemed like a good title for this thread.. Another would have been.."How Automotive technicians do it" but I didn't think that would have the same effect.   The point. yes.. The point.. I got tires and put them on.. And here are a few pictures of the process. 

First things first, Get out the white paint marker and make them look cool..



Seems like a good start..  Next thing.. Get the wheels off.. Which means.. HANG IT!



Wheel's off: Note the large hammer on the ground.  Like I said.. Automotive technician.  I didn't have to break out the Duct tape this time.  but maybe it'll come out later.



Now I didn't take any pictures of the machine or the tire changing process.. Didn't seem that exciting.  And yes.. I was lazy and didn't balance them.. Smooth riding so far.





Remember how first thing I did was paint the letters.. Scratch that.  Paint them AFTER they're mounted.  The tire machine does wonders for rubbing off dried paint.  I repainted them again after they were mounted on the wheels. So far so good on the new tires.  Need to get them to the track and get em worn in properly!  They're Bridgestone BT-003RS's if anyone is interested.

And make sure to scribble some custom chicken strip gauges on those fancy tires.  [moto]
I promise to make better mistakes tomorrow.

Although I'm *hoping* to ride the track primarily, I'm definitely planning on being out and about this spring once it warms up.  Chicken strip indicators.. Some other tire maker actually makes those..  Naah I look hard enough at my tires to figure it out without any indicators   [thumbsup]

It doesn't get any sillier or funny than this:

I dont get the flying elephant symbol on the tires I guess  :-\

If you love your bike, set it free.
If it comes back to you, you've
probably high-sided.

That'll go well with Scottish's elephantitis of the nuts.  I'm just sayin.   ;D
