So, there I was motoring along in sunny Sanford, FL, when I felt the bike bounce kinda funny. A few minutes later I fell rear of my Concours start to wander. Upon inspection I find a Brad Nail has punched a TINY hole in my rear tire.
I am able to get my bike home, but then begins the fun. I am calling around and apparently it is against the law in FL to repair a tire (at the dealerships), but I (the novice tire guy) can repair it (because that's safer than having a pro look at it and do the repair).
So I am faced with trying to do a simple patch/plug repair for a couple bucks, or replacing my half worn tire with a shiny new one, but 5k miles earlier than budgeted.
What would you do? ???
