Still Under Warranty?


I tried for quite a few hours to change Norm's tires myself (have to put back on the road tires b/c the ride East will be long and flat). It takes a big man to attempt this, but an even bigger man to admit when he's failed. I just couldn't break the beads. Need to pick up some more tools when I get a chance, that and a few more muscles probably. So I ended up calling around and was referred to a little grease shop called 'Woody's Wheel Works' down in Denver. For $25 a tire they would be happy to change 'em out for me today. Got to the shop and knew right away this place legit. The owner rides a BMW 1200gs (with some sweet wheels on it I might add).  Found out the rims needed truing as well. Since I still have quite a few miles yet to ride, I'm glad to get this done before I head back out on the road. I fly out tomorrow morning for my friend Mike and Leslie's wedding, so The Norm will have to sit like this for a few days until I get back from Pittsburgh.

It's nice to be able to kick your shoes off and relax once and awhile ;)
