How to Change a Flat Tire on a Stella;Laid over in the grass

So, I was out riding Friday night and got caught in the rain at around midnight. What really sucked is that I got a flat rear tire, lucky for me I was near a gas station with air. All I needed was 50 cents, I go in to get change and the “dude” behind the counter would not give me change. I’m dripping wet, I got a Flat I’m like 10 blocks from my house and “No change, No Change!”. I got a little angry. Lucky for me again a nice HUMAN BEING came into the station and broke my dollar and even joined in my anger towards the “dude” behind the counter. ANYWAY, I fill the tire with air and because it’s shittin dogs (Okie term for hard rain) there is water everywhere which was good cause I could rotate the tire and look for where it was leaking. I couldn’t see or hear anything, and it seemed to be holding air okay so off home I went.

Once I got home, I could tell it was lower on pressure and would be flat by morning. Searching the web I went to a forum that I have read but never posted on before. Stella Speed Forum. Stella Speed has a lot of great info and some really nice people. Jason_Y a Stella Speed regular wrote a post about how you can change a Stella or Vespa P series rear tire by laying it over gently on the grass. I figure well I need to change my tire tomorrow I’ll give it a shot.

Now, in these videos (It’s in 2 parts) I don’t follow Jason’s advice completely.
He adds: “One big tip — loosen the lug nuts _before_ you tip the bike over. It isn’t usually a big deal if you don’t, but with the bike on the stand the tire won’t spin when you loosen the nuts. Also take off the engine side cowl! And lower it on the grass gently. I think it’s easier standing on the engine side while you tip the bike over. And make sure that your fuel tap is off, and you might not want to have filled the oil tank all the way to the top before doing this.”
