Yup. The TransWorldMotocross.com was the most informative - thanks.

Bridgestone Ultra Heavy Duty Motorcycle Tube ($20)
which size? 110/100x18 or 100/100x18? or neither?

As others have said, learn to do it. Unless you're dealer will be on-call for you and meet you out in the middle of nowhere to change your tire for $12 when it goes flat 30 miles from the nearest road. I'm pretty sure AAA will tell you to take a hike, which is exactly what you will have to do if you can't fix your tire yourself.
I've had the Bridgestone ultra heavy duty tubes for a few years, still on the same set after many tire changes. They are THICK. Reminds me of a divers wet suit.
For tire stiffness, I lay them them in the sun for a little while so they get nice and toasty, makes it a little easier to work with. For garage work, a tire change stand makes it a lot easier on the old back, but I would consider that a luxury item, not a requirement.
As for the size, I don't think it's critical, there's a lot of variation in the tire sizes themselves anyway. Better to err on the conservative side, though, so I'd get the larger size. When riding, I only carry an extra front tube in the pack - it can be put in the front of course, or the rear tire if needed, no need to care two tubes.
