-- Original Message -- Are you comparing a $2000+ tire changing machine to a $59 HF manual tool? It takes me ~ 15 minutes to change a MC tire. Versus removing the wheel, driving to a MC shop, leaving

I don't know about the car guys, but most of the motorcycle guys use some variation of static balancing on a stand made with a few small ball bearings or knife edges. I do, anyway. Dave C ___________
