    I change tires by hand all of the time. It's not that hard.

    Re: changing tire by hand

    I have changed many a streetbike tire with just tire irons and cleaning solution. Plenty of instructional vids online. The trickiest part it breaking the bead and I built a lever system out of 2x4s in my garage to do it.

    I quit watching when he removed the rotors, dumbass.
    I almost always change/flip my own on the race bikes.
    This year I have let Scer do some of the work though

    If you take your wheels off bring them to the shop and I'll mount them for you dude. Only thing is I can't balance but GPM is a few blocks away.

    I had to do it on a R1200RT once. With touring tires (hard sidewall). Not fun.

    I don't know if my bike counts as a dirtbike? Then again, it's not really a street bike either.
