Trolley jacks and jack stands. Thanks for giving me a great idea.

    Tony, Yeah. One of my friends at home is looking to change the front tire on his bike, but a stand won't really work for him. I've been brainstorming for alternatives, and yours looks like a really great one. It's either that or pulling the front up with an engine hoist at this point.

      Firehawk, This is the safest way I have found that works for me. Has never let me down.

      Firehawk, Make sure you put a piece of would under the bike and center the floor jack.

Not much snow in Virginia these days. It barely snowed for even 1 day last year.... good for riding motorcycles though....

Always check your tire pressure after getting new tires.

I know new tires are naturally slick but when they are inflated to nearly 50 psi they're very slick. Luckily this is the brunt of the damage and I'm fine....

I like Pirelli STR tires on my Pan America,

But I have to change these every 7-8.000km and they are very noisy. Which tires, same class, have better longevity and are less noisy? I spend usually 20-30% on gravel roads, no hard offroad....
