Not much, Peter. Temperature in the mid twenties. Celsius, although it was a little cool atop the hills. Smile

Good job!
Is this tire machine designed for cars with a moto adapter or is it just for motos? What about the balancer?

Its a mayflower 980 with motorcycle wheel adapters and the balancer is a katool i forget the model with the motorcycle wheel mount. I do mostly car tires on the side but its nice when you have bike tires todo

Motorcycle trip to the Grand Canyon? Would LOVE to see photos if that's the case. For my wife and me, that area will always be a special place as we hiked to the bottom during our honeymoon. Kind of a spur of the moment thing as we took in the spectacular views with the sun just rising our first morning there. Me: "wanna hike down to the bottom?". Her: "ok". In two weeks we'll be celebrating 35 years. Blink of the proverbial eye.
