Here is the tire changer we use. It isn't cheap, but it has been used alot lately. http://www.derekweaver.com/rodders-garage/tire-changers/weaver-w-894xs-tire-changer/
I owned an iphone and dropped it several times, never busted a screen. Switched to android because itunes is the biggest pile of garbage I have ever used.
I have the long way round, long way down, and race to Dakar books. Getting ready to read them this winter. I read "The man who would stop at nothing". Great book about iron butt riding.
I wear a pair of TCX X-Five Goretex boots. Super comfy, and a bit more toe room for myself with wide feet. I work in dress pants, so I leave a pair of dress shoes at work.
