Nobody, but NOBODY has addressed the fact that the tire "nazi" was being asked to support a huge variety of bikes with a just as huge variety of tire needs with ZERO way of him predicting the needs and the volume of those needs.
What I hear is that rally goers expect this guy to show up with an inventory of tires at his expense that he doesn't know if they will be sold. He's supposed to transport personnel and equipment plus this huge amount of rubber to a remote (non-shop environment) location on the HOPES that he's guessed right and sells the inventory so he won't be stuck with thousands upon thousands of dollars of tires that he may not be able to sell for years, for bikes that he never sees.
Then he's supposed to sell the product and the service for the same or lower price than an internet hound can sniff out and get his rear chewed out for not doing it fast enough nor cheap enough.
Serious question ... would YOU want to be the tire/tire service vendor with expectation levels like that?
How about getting specific with some reasonable expectations that balance likelihood and volume with profitability considering the costs of inventory purchase, transportation, personnel and the costs associated with operating away from home (food, meals, hotel, etc)?
So far most of what I've heard from those with bad feelings are, in fact, whining because they have no realistic recognition of what's involved and what SHOULD be expected and what it costs.
So, YEAH .... it's whining.

What does adjusting valves have to do with getting tires?Stuff2C said:Not that it realy matters NOW. But if you don't like the way he does business...go somewhere else AND STOP YOUR WHINING!! SHEESH! Go out and learn to adjust your valves.

Unless you're personally a large corporation, I'm pretty sure he misspelled the name of a motorcycle tire manufacturer
