    ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^
    I've been riding for about the same time and owned well over 150 bikes.
    I have changed a couple of tyres by hand in the past, but since I moved
    out of the dark ages and can afford to have a man fit my tyres for me,
    I've left it to professional tyre fitters. TOG is a journalist, not a
    professional tyre technician or fitter, you thick septic ****-dribble.

    btdt...but the tube was the correct size. ONLY going a nominal
    65-70mph when the front tube split in twain crossways no less. The
    entire tube ended up in one lump...makes for an interesting hop on the
    front end. Rather a non-event imho.

    Lozzo, don't lump that sack of worthless impotent, child chasing, goat
    fucking shit with the rest of us. He is a racist and an abomination of
    nature...unfortunately we are too civilized to kill him out of hand
    then hang the corpse along side the main road into town.

    Can't you simply chase him to the top of a cliff, and knock him over
    the edge with a "non-lethal munition"?

    It's all the rage in LA, I hear.

    Not sporting enough...were it me they'd just drop him in denali with a
    swiss army knife (the itty bitty one) and declare open season.
    I wouldn't know about that silicon enhanced cess pit. 8^) As far as
    you can prove.

    I'm no professional, but I found manually mounting a ME880 on a the
    front rim of a 79' GL1000 was an utter bitch, for me any way. Oh and
    yes you have to use a tube with them.

    A professional tire mechanic has *zero* problems with mounting any
    type of tire because he knows what he's doing.

    I have personally mounted B-52 bomber tires that stand six feet tall.

    Naturally when one has the blood I do one has a habit of speaking
    thusly. Something chattle like yourself is not capable of
    understanding.
    No, that is YOUR hamster in YOU ass. Sheesh Goatse, can't you keep
    track of your pets?

    failing at correcting anothers correct spelling does not make you the
    centre of attention, rather it points out what a pedantic prig you
    are. 8^)

    Shortly after getting the Tiger, I replaced the rear tyre. Same
    problem.

    How can someone not notice the tube is too big, when it had to be
    folded, before fitting the tyre?

    They didn't care. Had this with a Honda CB500T I flogged to a mate:
    some genius had folded a 19" tube to fit in the 18" tyre, and it split
    along the fold, spectacularly, as he was doing about 60mph two-up. I'd
    never checked because, hell, it had a decent rear tyre, and who tries
    to stuff a tyre with the wrong size tube anyway?

    Nothing surprises me about bodgers these days. Every btime you think
    you've seen it all, someone comes up with a new one.

    Oh come on who hasn't used a 17" tube in an 18" rim....

    That's because you don't know what you're doing.

    Trained tire technicians know *exactly* what they are doing and can
    mount the new tire with minimal tools and they don't scratch or nick
    the rim, or *bend* the tire lever.
