To each their own, those with plugged tires should ride alone.	VMaxGuru NOW ONLINE Site Sponsor Posts: 981 Thank you received: 1351

I had my rear tire removed and patched after a screw puncture. Luckily it was a slow leak and I could take the bike to a local mechanic. Been considering this: www.stopngo.com/products/Pocket-Tire-Plu...s-CO2-Inflation.html	Vivo OFFLINE Junior Max Posts: 84 Thank you received: 12

I'm with Tim on this...there is no motorcycle tire company out there that will endorse riding a motorcycle with patched or repaired tire. IMHO, you take your life in your own hands and also the others around you when you ride on a patched/repaired tire! Sorry, but my life is worth more than the cost of a tire...

I plug it, then I replace the tire ASAP. I don't push it with it plugged.	hammer OFFLINE Platinum Max Posts: 2894 Thank you received: 1104

Mike D. Why did u go with the bridgestone back tire.. That tire sucks! The Shinko front will help with handling tho.. Just not grip in in the rear tho..	Qtip NOW ONLINE Platinum Max What ever! Posts: 6263 Thank you received: 1707

A plug is a 'get home' product, nothing more. My life & my expensive bike aren't worth the bucks I would save delaying getting a new tire.	vmaxbabe OFFLINE Platinum Max Posts: 4438 Thank you received: 1275
