Changing a Harley-Davidson tyre
I have travelled many thousands of on-road and off-road km's on a BMW with tubeless tyres and suffered my fair share of punctures. Where necessary the offending wheels were fairly easily removed and, other than in one instance (where the tyre was badly holed by a stake ),the punctures fixed with plugs from BMW tool kit. This time I'm staying in my own country and plan to travel right around Australia, mainly on the black top, but on a Harley-Davidson Heritage with wire spoked wheels and tubed tyres. Harleys are b...dy heavy, sure don't balance on a centre stand like my old BM and I would like to hear from any one who has had a flat tyre out in the middle of the outback on one of these beauties and somehow got the wheel off, removed the offending tyre, replaced the tube and got the show on the road again.
