Achievable Dream: Part 5 - Tire Changing!
On a long-distance motorcycle trip, you WILL find THAT nail, usually in the most inconvenient time and place.
When you're venturing off the beaten path, you can't just call your friendly automobile association! Fear no more - Grant will demystify the black art of Tire Changing and Repair in this DVD full of expert tips and information to help you STAY on the road!

"Really valuable!"
"If it isn't in this DVD, you don't need to know it!"
"Excellent, Informative and a must-watch! I recently bought this DVD to help with fixing tires while on the go. The DVD is very well made and to the point. It comprehensively covers repairs and changes for tubed and tubeless tires. I certainly got many pointers regarding patch types and a couple of tricks too. I would certainly recommend this DVD for anyone who wants to learn more about fixing their tires. With a little bit of practice, you could save yourself an expensive trip on a tow truck!" xtrg, on Amazon.com
"Very informative and practical - I learnt a lot and realise how unprepared I was when I went on my trips!"
