It was only £45 per hour labour - I presume it was one of the less qualified mechanics fixing it (very reassuring!!)Is this at a bike shop? surely quickfit watling tyres or any other tyre shop dont talk hourly rates. Or am I being bike naive.

ULTRASEAL.
quite simply that Is the solution. £20 for both wheels seals punctures as they happen. Run it in my FZ8 and don't have any wobble or imbalance even in excess of 140 :-)

Now-sy then
I think those plug kits are just to get you hpme - or to the garage for a fix or new tyre And that slime is the same in that to get you home. what I dont like about the slime is that you dont know that you have got a hole in your tyre that is compromising the structure. Thats what i worry about anyway

You can get puncture insurance for about 120/year, covers up to 3 replacements/year

I did it at 5.00 so I'll check the pressure tomorrow morning to see if it has lost any.
Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore,
too fucked up to care any more.

I wonder how many of us out there with also a car seem to get more punctures in a bike than a car even when we do more mileage in a car perhaps it to do with the amount of time we are in areas that cars don't touch, even a normal riding position in the road could be in-between the cars tyres where all the crap gets blown let alone filtering and overtaking
