I think what you need is a van with a extra parts bike. Hell, I thought you were going on a long ride not just to Daytona.

Do you carry a spare parts vehicle in your daily driver or just a spare tire in the trunk?

I think the curiosity exhibited here is expected ... If you do have a flat tire are we supposed to assume that you carry both the front and the rear tire with you on the scooter? Maybe just the front and hope that does the trick, or perhaps the rear the in case you have a blowout in the Burnout Pits at the Iron Horse ? Ride safe and keep an eye on those tires :>)

As stated earlier, I can have the bike towed back to wherever I am staying and swap tires and wheels myself. I do not plan to carry the spares with me on the motorcycle. That would be crazy. Where would I put the motorcycle jack? Ha Ha!

Okay well now it's more clear,I'd assume now that you are trailering the bike to the rally not riding it.

Here is how you determine which side of the wheel is the left side:
Remove the wheel bearings (toss them into the scrap can), look inside the hub, there will be a lip on the left side of the hub that the bearing is pressed against when installing.
