This is the kind of eBay find which makes me conflicted. On one hand, bikes should be ridden, and it’s almost criminal to let a legendary dirt-track demon hibernate for so long.

This morning, I read a post on Reddit about a guy mounting his own tires, and the thread title—“Mounting your own tires sucks”—pretty much sums up his thoughts on the job.
