    Anyone in the springs know how to change tires?

    I'm in need to change my tires, i have the tires, i just dont have any of the tools to do it myself and i dont have the money for dealership prices. I will pay but i can't fork out 100 bucks at the moment. If there's anyone that knows how to change an 06 yamaha r6 tire thats willing to do it at a cheaper price. Please give me a call. I'm already down to the threads (metal/fray? idk the term) in the middle. 719-440-4161 I can meet anywhere.

    I know some of the shops here in Denver only charge like 10-20 bucks for tire changes. Unless they have changed their prices.

    If you by any chance will be in the Denver area (highlands ranch specifically) anytime soon I can mount those for you if you bring me the wheels and tires, only thing I can't do is balance. I do my own mounting at the shop I work with. I know it's a long shot but well an option if possible.

    I get my tires changed by Tracey at Jackal Motorsports. He offers discounts for CSC members. I want to say $40 or $45 (for both) off the top of my head but best to talk to him.

    Tracey is a stand up guy, I go to him for all my major service items and his prices are very reasonable (quite a bit cheaper then say Rocky Mountain or Apex).

    No, no, and I will repeat again, no. Started on a side job for the owner when I was still recovering from knee surgery, and walked out after less than a day based off of my observations of his integrity and customer service.

    Wrider is compltetly correct on this scumbags integrity. He will smile to your face as his hand in in your pocket stealing your hard earned $.
    He has consistanly scewed the motorcycling community over for many years. The only reason he still is open is because of a trust fund from his mommy. If you go to this idiot for ant reason, you have been warned.
