    I once used tyre Pando (am showing my age know ) on my xl 100 trail bike by the time rode little way to garage to try air in it must riped

    the valve around the tube just poured out so noty sure how you meant to a get to servo to get the air back in the tube.

    Most if all maged wheeled streetbike have tubless tires , by the time you know the things flat i rekon bit late unless gunk already in the tire.

    am assuming it is in that product i surpose if you doing long distance everday it might be worth a try . but cant you get rubber bungs

    All i know got blow out in my Old honda car and thing blew hole right through the steel belts . so was had it

    I know flat front tire is pretty dire to ride on so yeah even to limp home at 15 kph

    You get bike cover with the AA with you car AA plan and i assume roadside rescue and other plans i assume i never had punture on tubless tire but they do happen i guess.

    I guess they trailer you bike back to your house or bike shop if you wish.

    And run out fuel quite few times out of town and been god send have guy bring 5 litres or so of fuel.

    Well, you're supposed to remove tyre and patch tube.

    Check your policy carefully, most have limited use, limited expense. Standard AA will get you to the nearest service centre and you have to have AA Plus to get you home.

    There was this Eskimo who was travelling around NZ in a hire car and had to pull over because he detected a problem with the car.

    A Kiwi saw him and pulled over. The Kiwi inquired as to what was wrong and the Eskimo didnt know but pointed to the wheel. So the Kiwi bends down and has a look and after examining for a while he turns to the Eskimo and says "You've blown a seal".

    In a much disgusted voice the Eskimo says "And you fucked a sheep!!"

    The one I heard was an Eskimo took his snow mobile in for a service, the mechanic said give us an hour, go have a coffee etc, when the Eskimo retuned the mechanic said you have blown a seal, the Eskimo quickly wiped his mouth and said No!! I just had a donut with my coffee.

    Check out a product called Ultraseal. It's been around a long time and was fully tested by the UK BMW Motorcycle Club (I was a member) and found to work well. Small punctures seal permanently. Larger punctures seal fully but should still be repaired (you can see the Ultraseal 'plug'). Ultraseal is water soluble so won't cause problems for the repairers.

    I've had puntures on a BMW K1200LT that were sealed and stayed sealed for 1000's miles regularly at constant speeds of 90mph (150kph), as was normal on UK motorways. So speed and bike weight were certainly not an issue.

    It is available in NZ. The distributor used to be in Nelson but not sure now.

    Got new Michelin Pilot Road 4 GTs on Friday and guess what, got a friggin puncture yesterday!!

    Fortunately I was at home and the bike was going in to get work done on it so the bike shop kindly picked it up!

    After that... I'm going to try Ultraseal!!
