I think I'm going to take the Valk out tomorrow....run her up to 110mph and see if that plug is going to hold.....if it does, I'll probably end up in Tiger, GA for my favorite chili burger ....if not.......  |

The Plug , quit worrying about that Plug. If you can't take the tire off the bike and tote it over to Joe Blows and get him to put a boot in it. This is as good as it gets on Tire Repairs. I know personally people that have run as many as five plugs in a tire. I ran a tire that was plugged by me(Skeery THAT PART ANYWAY) for 5 thousand miles. Never lost a lot of air pressure just the usual two or three pounds as the weather cooled. Keep a check on pressures, you really should anyway and if no big drops like ten pounds or more then you are good to go. Additionally did you not use RIDEON Tire treatment at one time? This would be good time for some ride on. Big AL Or you could learn how to Body Surf like these fellows.

Always be prepared Stanley, everyone is not looking out for the other guy. Case in point. This guy chose the right path regardless. I was in the same shoes as this guy but made it by the skin of my teeth. thought my left leg was a gonner. I was not Happy for a few minutes and then considered how lucky I was. Big Al

I'm not worried.....I plugged two holes in a tire with only 200 miles on it and ran it for about 9,000 more miles.....with some Ride-on in it....I thought I had some left, but couldn't find it.....I'll take my chances....plugged it last Sunday and today it was only down by one psi....

You are good to go, but I'm still jealous.
I can't go with you , still on the Two Wheel Wagon.
No riding for me.
Come on November.

These things won't run that fast. I heard it on good authority. Plus if that plug is not centered, you might get a wobble.
