Booo. :(

Zoinks

My buddy just bought a 2011 R1, on our 1st group ride with the new bike, his rear tire went flat about 30 miles into our trip, his rear did not have a 120 miles on it yet. Sucks!

Yuck

Patch it, go on about your day

I don't feel safe riding a plugged tire at high speed

I felt the same way until the day I had to use 4 plugs to close a hole, then rode 200 miles home, and a couple of hundred on top of that until the new tire came. I'm not sure I would put a plug on the far edges of a bike tire, but anywhere in the middle 80% yeh go for it.

Oh shit... Plug vs new tire debate in 5...4...3...

Plug it you pussy. I plugged a rear with no problems. I even use just plain jane soft rubber material. Didn't even have the re-inforced strands in them.

Maybe if I rode on flat land all damn day in texas. I sure as fuck don't want blowout in the mountains laid over.

People plug tires here all the damn time, I have never seen a thread or talked to a person who had one fail. Tires very rarely fail catastrophically too. They slowly deflate and you can tell it's happening and have time to stop.

I know the stealerships and bike shops love when people bring brand new tires that can be plugged and want them tossed off the bike. The workers fight over the tires.

Then the plug shouldn't touch the road all the time pansy.

Which kit should I use then faggots?

The Official Tampon Hole Plugger Kit

oh thanks bro

I think you can get it at a few of the big box stores too

yeah I got that one at wallyworld for my trip

That kit says to only use it for 100 miles and not to exceed 50mph.

I think I might get this one...

Mushrooms are inferior to rope and rubber cement

There is that one plug that's a plug and a patch. You have to remove the tire to install it from the inside though.

Yeah those are bad ass...

Laurie don't need no air in her tires.

New tire is here and my new Sargent seat. Awesome, I have be ridding lightly on the plugged tire.

Sargent seat FTW! Wish they would make one for the ER6N.

I love my Sargent seat. Got a used one for next to nothing (just has a small rip in one place that I need to have patched).
