Hello a'body,
Was out for the first run of the year today - had to stop by Neil at Craigston Tyres, Oldmeldrum to have my old PR2's put on following another puncture ! Anyway, he has just started doing bike MOT's so this will be another option for us who run older bikes.
Hope this snow does not appear next week !

Plug 'em and run as long as I feel comfortable !
Neil did remark that the plug was a good repair - but not to be trusted for long runs.
Better safe than sorry.

Always good to have more bike friendly places for your MOT...

And I'm with Steve....how do you manage to get so many punctures?

(I'll get one now I've said that!)

Accumulating lots of experience in using tyre plugger !!

Which tyre plugger do you use? the Stop 'n Go?? Was thinking of buying one...

I've got the Cargol turn 'n go ones that screws in and snaps off, but I don't think they are as long lasting as the above.

Haven't had a puncture for years now, last one was on the BMW just before I sold it in 2009 to get the Strom.

Aye Col.
It is the Stop & Go Pocket Tyre Plugger which I've now used on bike and car tyres.
Very handy to carry under the seat and does a good job.
Don't leave home without it !!
