Ok, I was going to my kickball league this eve. I decided to take my bike ('05 GSX600F). After pulling outta my spot I was slappin the tank at 1mph. Ok, I was in a hurry, and in my defence I had parked it only an hour before so I did not even do a quick walk around.
Kickball was fun I am now bleeding from both hands and one leg and an arm (sliding into 2nd...safely). I easily found the hole in my rear tire after the game and plugged it the same way you would a car. I used the good stuff with the reamer to scuff the hole and the tarish gooey strips.
I am concerned however... Is it ok/safe to do this to my baby Kat? Did I mention it is not in the lug of the tread but in the groove... Almost dead center. These are the original tires (2600 mi), I bought the bike new in May. They have NOT been abused.
Any ideas or comments are welcome... I can pony up for a new rear but would prefer not to.
