Imo opinion telling people what they should or should just because you're worried about your insurance premium is fucking stupid.

Ps, Motorcycling isn't an elite sport. If I can't afford something, I'll do without the best way I can, Ie: plugging a tire.

If you don't like that, write your congressman, because I'll sleep fine tonight regardless if I'm soon to be a fucking statistic, or if I'm "fucking stupid" for plugging a tire.

I've never seen a properly patched tire fail.

And I've never seen a plugged tire fail. Ever, car or truck or bike..

I'm not saying it's impossible, just not guaranteed to happen.

If you don't like it, by all means, don't do it. But, a couple bucks an maybe I'll get another flat, or I can drop 300 for a new one.

Also, they wouldn't explosively decompress. They'd lose air just like a normal flat..

Truth.

Horrific sceanrio:

Plug fails, tire goes flat.

Insert new plug (most kits come with two).

Not the end of the world. (Except for the inevitable skyrocketing of insurance rates due to the "failed plug statistic".)

I appreciate the fact that I am apparently a catalyst for such a heated debate, but honestly I asked a specific question and have gotten no specific answer. LOL.

Nope, I got plug it yourself, go to a car shop, and dont do it.

My question was for a specific motorcycle shop that would do it A to Z.

:P

You must've missed my previous post where I said I plugged a new Pilot Power that had 10 miles on it. I wasn't berating anybody for doing it, just commenting that I saw them fail more than once.

It was like a scene out of a horror movie, too. There was the sound of air coming out of a tire, then we stopped at the next gas station and repaired the tire and continued our ride.
