As you may recall, as I have posted it here before some time ago, my (younger by 2 years) brother, Michael, bought a Mana in late 2009.
Really likes it. Has put 14K on it in that time, and, obviously, needed new tires some time ago, but had put it off. Finally, he and I made arrangements to go up this past Sunday to Riders Hill http://www.ridershill.com/ to R&R his front and rear rubber, and to get a new Pilot Activ front to match my EV's rear.
Anyway, were going to get an early start, but Michael called and said his rear tire was flat -- he had ridden yesterday, so he couldn't be faulted for not having noticed sooner. I went over and put in two plugs (one small finishing-nail hole and a nasty gash from a glass shard), and we both prayed they hold for the 80 miles up to Dahlonega. They did.
The rest of the story in these 17 pix. Used three different cameras (don't ask), so the pix are all sorts of different sizes.
