RE: "Screwed" tyre........literally - Homer - 19-08-2014
A big thank you to everyone who posted. I feel confident that the plug option is not unsafe - and I'm not considering any high speed stuff at the moment....
Big thanks to Bike Lifters (see attached card) who could get me down to a shop o. The day. This is my sole means of transport......
....also a big thanks to Tyres 4 Bikes who were able to fix it on the spot - ready to ride in under an hour.
Consequence was I only lost 1/2 days pay.....

I have done 300kmh with a plugged rear tyre and wore the tyre out.

Pick up within an hour and 20km journey was $90.00
Remove, plug and replace wheel within an hour was $70.00
I would not call around if it happened again. I think it was $50 if I'd brought in the wheel only. Thing is, I have no tools......and still would have had to get there and back somehow.

Maybe I didn't write it too well........when I said I wouldn't call around, I meant that I would get in touch with these companies again without hesitation.
Very happy with the service. Pricing was good too.

Plug it from the inside out and forget about it.
I did Brisbane to Dubbo and back in a weekend with a pillion and a plugged tyre
ran a 10.3 at Willowbank a few weeks later.
Current S20 I'm using was given to me because the last owner wouldn't
use it with a plug in it, even though it is almost brand new.
Plugged from the inside the worst thing that could ever happen is a very slow
leak, you'd need dynamite to shift the plug.
I'm always happy to find a home for newish 190/50, 190/55 or 200/50's.
I love getting free tyres because other wont plug them.
