I'm absolutely amazed. I had some new tires put on today and decided I also wanted the puncture proof Ride-On stuff added. The directions said to remove all tire weights. I figured NO WAY that's going to work. There's just not that much stuff there to balance. Surprise surprise. The bike is smoother now than it has ever been. 95mph on the speedo so that's probably 90mph real and it was smooth as glass.
Glad no one took me up on my bet that it wouldn't work. I'm amazed. Balanced and if and or when I get a small nail I just have a slow leak for a little bit until it seals, then I can get it patched if there is still salvageable life left in it. COOL!
My indy didn't carry the stuff and had never put it in for anyone so we all learned something today. I had to get it from the good ole inter-net but I think he's going to start carrying it now. That's what he said anyway.
