hey shadow.. thks for the info man, interesting theory about the front preparing the nail for the rear... i had three separate punctures on the last tyre still 85% new, i got rid of it a got a new tyre, then 5 days after a strange metal object like an old tool bit straight through the centre of the tyre, so i plugged it with up to 3 stringy gooi things and its still micro leaking, so i thought it might help if i sprayed the tyre weld from the inside might just stop it..but it looks like ill have to wait till sat morn to get it done properly..sucks .. punctures can become really costly..and worse of all the weather has been nice..cold and crispy but nice to keep engine feeling like a young girl again ..
oh.. just saw your post cbr and jarvid..yeah ill bite the bullet one more time and get it done properly..patch from the inside..if I get a puncture again..that's it!.. God must be telling me to get of the road! or some one is sabotaging my tyres!!! grrr

 

Your other girl isn't jelous is she. One way to keep you off it, better than sugar in the tank I suppose!

 

lol... nah she loves me having it..better than a real girl she says :P but I do leave it out in street parking when i'm at work.. you never know i guess..I know its not the tow away lanes cause i don't do that anymore, heaps of nails and debris on those breakdown lanes...lol you know i saw somewhere in my travels on the net an advertisement for some spray that protects tires from nails and screws...lol..sounds more like a placebo

 

Saturday morning.. the verdict.. two attempts at an inside patch/plug failed!!!
sorry mate.. you need a new tire! Grrrrrr. No more punctures for at least 6 months please......
Good news, its a sunny and beautiful day for a ride..

 

**** happens mate...better a new tyre than the old one fails and you get hurt!!

I hope you enjoyed your ride.

 

One new tyre=no more worrying, I have forgotten what the sun looks like down here!

 

cheers to that matey! Awesome day indeed!. and yes the extra confidence
with new tyre beats doubting and checking all the time

man..bureau of meteorology has you as rain till Wednesday! need a miracle westerly .. hows the break-in process going..finished? is she fully shick!
I never wanted much in my life, always lived fairly simple but now in the later years i'm entertaining thoughts of a brand new CBR1000rr..but ive been through this already! ahhh crap.! The new tyre makes a big diff in handling very happy.

 

Only managed 350km so far, if it ain't raining it's blowing like mad down here! From what I can feel though, it's great.
