20 people are going tojump inand say"Just plugged it and kept going"
Then 1-2 people are going to pipe in and say "Man, I can't believe you'd take your life in your hands by plugging a Motorcycle tire."
Then one guy is going to say "I knew a guy that died doing that".
Then about 30 more people are going to say "Just plug it and keep going...jeez man"
Then someone willjump in andask "Hey whats the best Oil to use in my 07 SG?"

RE: So Your Rear Tire Is Flat
In the 5 years I had my last ride I only managed to wear out 1 rear tire. All the rest had a plug within two weeks. The last one caught a nail the day after I installed the new tire. I pulled into a station, bought a beer, plugged it, aired up & rode home. A plug kit is a must, along with a can of fix a flat just to get it inflated until you get to a station.

I couldn't answer the question. If I were within 50 or so miles of home, I'd just call my shop and have em bring the trailer. If I was further, I might call AAA and I might just plug it, air it and ride it depending on my agenda for that day. I usually carry beer in a cooler on the bikebut ifby chanceI didn't have any, that would definately be a priority.
SEE what I mean? It's a hard question to answer!

I like to sit by the bike looking forelorn until somebody offers to load it on a trailer or truck.

Most everyone that I have ever talked to reported 2+ hours wait. Then, when they get there, you may have to deal with someone not treating you bike with the utmost care when loading, strapping, and unloading. No thanks. I will do my best to avoid it.
