![]() ![]() Looking for something to write about on a slow news day and googling up other Stop&Go experiences to compare to mine, of course I found that small percentage of people who wouldn’t plug Obama’s golf-cart tire with a Stop&Go in a lightning storm with FDR caddying. I plugged the rear tire in my R1 once before with the Stop&Go with the same success. It’s been six or eight weeks now and 500 miles, no problems. At no time did I exceed about 90 mph on the plugged rear. I started riding it again, gently and slowly at first, then faster – all for the sake of science of course. After a week I noticed the tire hadn’t lost any air.

But that’s not what the plugs here are for: The Stop&Go mushroom-style plug and the Dynaplug pointy-style are here to keep you from having to ride a tow truck to your destination when you pick up a nail en route and don’t have a tire mounting machine at hand. Some of them might tell you it’s okay to patch a tire, with a permanent patch glued on from the inside. The time now is 00:15.Let’s just get the disclaimers out of the way right up front, shall we? No tire manufacturer wants you to plug its tire if you run over a nail, not even a brand new one. So if we could get a group of bodies wanting some, Im willing to foot the original bill, divide it between us all.Īll times are GMT +1.
