Re: tyre repair kit

... temporary fix which may work and has done for me is screw in a self tapper with some silicone sealant on it. Will get you a few miles down the road no problem. If it doesn't seal It will be because a slit rather than a whole I would guess. Hope the info is helpful.

Re: tyre repair kit

... I'll order the repair thingy to see if I can seal it long enough to ride to a repairer. Might get a quote from CMC cannock first as only down the road so not as far to risk riding,

Rockets Dream Machine !!!!

... up a bit of a on going review of the Ducati 899. I'm really impressed with the suspension it is solid and stable through the corners. However over roads of poor condition its soaks up the bumps amazingly well. I'am impressed how easy it is going from side to side on a round about then picking a ...

... 40 miles in distance. If you had a smash and your insurer found you had a repaired tyre that was not suitable they could argue your bike is not road worthy and not pay out. It has been mentioned elsewhere so there is potential it could happen.

Re: Anyone got a spare £60k they can give me?

It's special I agree but not special enough to justify 60k imo. I genuinely would prefer the more road focused 1299 if I had the choice.

Re: Anyone got a spare £60k they can give me?

Think what you could buy with 60k (lol)

Ducati 1299s for the road, Yamaha R1M for the track and a BMW S1000XR for holidays and days out with the missus. Plus you would still have best part of 10 grand cash for fuel, tyres and track days (rock)
