    Shouldn't be problem to fix, most likely a M/plug will do the job. Try to avoid them using a push in plug using a mushroom will mean the tyre will have to come off the rim for it to be fitted, but still shouldn't take more than 30mins to do the whole job.

    Picked up a M10 bolt a few years ago in my rear tyre that was able to be repaired (but it was valcanised though).

    Cheers for all ya help folks, was in Kingsland this morning so popped into 'Moto Haus' and the choice chap there repaired my nailed rear for $45. Nice.

    Went had had a great ride today, only just got back! Went all through scenic drive, huia and out to Kaukapa

    Weather wasnt too fantastic and felt the rear squirm and slide a bit on the tight hairpins and even the faster bends! But great day was had by all!

    (yes did take bike cam, but better not post it up.. )

    No poker runs?? Sorry, just stirring...
    It's been a rough day. I got up this morning, put on a shirt and a button fell off.
    As I ran out the door, I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off.
    Now I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.

    Yes he did! He did a great job, and someone waiting in the shop offered me $3000 for my bike! was going to take it, but I offered Kerry $3000 for a 2005 titanium Kawa 600 he has sitting there... ...he had my rear wheel in his hand at the time and started telling me how he was tempted to 'forget' to tighten the wheel nut up with that offer!!! hahahaha!!

    ...nice bike though... looking for a upgrade now.... bring on 600cc ! !
