This video from someone stranded with a puncture in front tyre - an Austrian RE rider on a roadside repair shop in India - the low tech way to take out and replace with a new tube.

If you were an enduro rider, you would be to do it a lot quicker than he is. It takes the great ones about 3 minutes. I took longer.

Interesting technique, hold the wheel with your foot, frees up both hands for removing the tire/tube. A field repair, sometimes you do what you have to do to get back on the road.

Looks like regular motorcycle repair to ME .... There always seems to be some fat, Jabba the Hutt bastage joking and adding his two cents worth while the mechanic is toiling away. that mechanic is no hack, either ..... he has incredible technique - feet and all! I'd let him put a tube in my bike .....
