Tire balancing?

Does anybody not balance at all ? ?

I have a couple 1100gs's and a 1150r, I spoon my own tires on , just tire irons, no machine. After I spoon on a new tire I ride it to the pavement, run the bike up to 120ish. If I don't get vibration I'm done , if I get vibration I go home install Ride On, I use 2 oz more than the chart recommends.

I have been doing this for the last several years. I don't know if this would work on a fast bike, but on these old slow bikes I ride, it works good.

I know some who don't. I know many who skip the rear and do the front.
