Hee hee - I agree... some wag posted this photo of me on the ADVrider forum yesterday!

Mind you, I also echo what you (and others) said about knowing how to change tyres... this was today in New Mexico:

Just found couple of links to "The Dark Side":

Dark Wing--Darkside Gold Wing (car tire on a Gold Wing)

The Dark Side

It's a pity they don't make the same quality for the bike tires.

By the way, I just replaced both Bridgestone Battlax rear and front tires after 22000kms (rear), 44000kms (front) on my Honda CB900.

Cheers & have a safe trip
