Lol we have 13 members of the family with motorcycles, many with several motorcycles. We have talked for years about buying a tire changer and balancer, but never got around to it.
Personally not being comfortable with doing a lot of mechanical stuff, and not having a lift, for me it's just simpler to make an appt, drive my bike up to the shop, walk around for an hour looking at new bikes, and then pay the man and ride my bike home. The same guy has been working on my bikes for quite a few years now. He knows his stuff. It costs a little more to go that route but I know it's done right, I haven't skinned any knuckles, strained anything, said things I probably shouldn't have, or raised my blood pressure, so it's worth it to me.
