Egads! I had finally tuned into the curves and had some great "track like" scrubbing on the edges from the 469 miles of twisties I just came off of. Bummer. :)<br /><br />-LoriBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-7367386582747914422011-07-17T22:31:28.277-04:002011-07-17T22:31:28.277-04:00Hi Bob, Do they perform inside/vulcanization patch...Hi Bob, Do they perform inside/vulcanization patches in Canada? We couldn't find any place here that would do that on a motorcycle tire. The one place that <i>might</i> have been willing to do it was closed for vacation. :)<br /><br />-LoriBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-59601798641054984142011-07-17T22:30:16.310-04:002011-07-17T22:30:16.310-04:00Hi Geoff, Can you believe we couldn't find any...Hi Geoff, Can you believe we couldn't find anyplace here that will vulcanize/patch a motorcycle tire? They won't take the liability risk. So it was replace or do it ourselves. I would have considered the inside patch if the puncture didn't appear too bad on the inside of the tire (and turns out we couldn't even see anything on the inside) but it wasn't an option. Glad yours worked out for you. I hear they are quite permanent.<br /><br />-LoriBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-47635659856924020002011-07-17T22:27:37.199-04:002011-07-17T22:27:37.199-04:00Hi Roger, Yeah.

Tyre plugs are only for emergencies and the quality of plugs varies enormously. If the tyre still has good tread left, I wouldn't object to having a patch properly vulcanised on the inside. Did it once when the tyre I punctured had only travelled 100-odd km from new and it was perfect for the whole life of the tyre.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-33714847159349511542011-07-17T18:03:13.210-04:002011-07-17T18:03:13.210-04:00Good choice Lori, I would have changed the tyre al...Good choice Lori, I would have changed the tyre also.
