This was saturday, that is me extracting it . I carry a stop and go plug kit and as I was only twenty minutes from home I rode home and then pulled the nail. One never knows it may just have been a tac, but no. I plugged it with my own kit. I am heading off in two weeks time to N Wales from SW...
You use CO2 gas cartridges, the kind you get with a soda stream usually they will come with the kit but make sure you get the tool that fits onto the tyre valve and also when you use it make sure you are wearing gloves. Reason is you will get a frost burn on your fingers if you are not careful...
Why did you not plug it yourself, I assume you are talking tyre removal for your plug?I have plugged tyres before and never had a problem I us a Mushroom kit. But to be honest I tend to change the tyre earlier if heading away on tour but for day to day I will run with it. I am well past my knee...
Same here screw driver and an Allen key, But they could have stuck them up were the sun don't shine. A more useful thing would have been the "C" spanner to adjust the rear shock. I have plug and go puncture repair kit + 3 CO 2 gas cartridges under the seat as well. Let's face it I think that is...
The organisers of the NW 200 and UGP are the ones who lobby the NI assembly for funding to make the road racing scene in N Ireland safer.

To get off the TT topic now ,have you ever had a day on the bike were you lack confidence and ride like a...

I am not against the TT but more needs to be done than is being done.
There have been 60 riders killed on the IOM TT/Manx GP since 2000 /2017. That works out at 3.53...
Sorry I am think that is one of the most over used statements in Motor cycle sport
They have died doing something they enjoyed doing, usually followed by RIP.
It is time this event was stopped or else made a hell of a lot safer.
There have been 5 fatalities this year the death rate is going up...
Kawasaki playing catch up, I did enjoy my Z1000SX which I had from new and kept for nearly 3 years. Paint work was soft though , I had to get the swing arm repainted after 18 months.
Is it a triple > And what is it weigh in at? Kawasaki have been fannying around this range of bike for a few years now Z750, then the Z800 now the Z900, they will need to get the weight right.
