[emrat:8539] Delboy's Garage (YouTube site for Triumph Maintenance)

Hey, I'm posting this after Dan Pilcher's suggestion to me on Sunday. 

My Bonnie needs a rear tire and my normal course would have been to just ride it over to a bike shop and pay them around $60 or so to change the tire for me.  But lately my desire to tinker has combined with my inner cheapskate and started asking "why should I pay someone else to do the relatively simple task of removing a rear wheel from a Bonneville?" 

So, I turned to YouTube, the modern-day Oracle of All Knowledge and I stumbled across several videos from someplace called Delboy's Garage.  He has some great, easy to follow videos on things like removing front and rear wheels and adjusting chains (those are the only two I've watched, I'm sure there are more.) 

Here are a couple of links but you can probably search and find more:

Front and rear wheel removal:

Delboy's Garage, Triumph Bonneville, Pt #1, 'wheel removal'.

Delboy's Garage, Triumph Bonneville, Pt #1, 'wheel removal'. Simple and straight forward job, taking both wheels out of your Triumph Bonneville for fitting of new tyres.

Here is one on chain adjustment (it's for a Scrambler but probably applicable to any chain-driven Triumph):

Delboy's Garage, Triumph Scrambler Chain Adjustment.

Delboy's Garage, Triumph Scrambler Chain Adjustment. Simple 'How-To' video on resetting the chain tension on your Triumph Scrambler, Bonneville and Thruxton.

I don't know about others, but for me, watching someone else do the task gives me more confidence that I can do it.
