RE: So Your Rear Tire Is Flat
I had this happen to me in Ontario. I plugged it, rode another 2000 or so miles to SLC and rode another 2000 or so miles on the tire before it was time for a new one. No problems.
However, if "given" a second chance, I would first look for the beer store, then plug it, fill itand ride it home.

He located his motorcycle under a shade tree and started buying single beers from the gas station. He called his girl friend in Amarillo which is about 180 miles away and told her to go by a friends and get his trailer and come get him.
5 hours later he was drunk and sound asleep under the tree when she finally showed up. I still can't believe he called her and she went and picked him up.

RE: So Your Rear Tire Is Flat
I said a buddy with a trailer, but actually it would be my OL and my pickup. I was a couple hundred miles from home once and had a guy stop w/trailer and give me and the bike a hitch home.
In my younger days I would pull out my toolkit with tire irons and hand pump, patch the tube and be back on the road in less than 2 hours(the good ol'days
)!

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?"
Just sayin....

plug it, air it, and ride it carefully to the nearest dealer or home to have the tire looked at and repaired.
