I rode home 3 hours on a plug with no problems.

I rode a couple of thousand miles and also did a track day with a plug in a tire.

Lost a PSI or two since yesterday but ambient temperature is way down. I'll check it later in the week. I'll probably remove the tire when I can motivate myself to do so and put an inside- out patch and plug on it.

This. I've had a front tire suddenly go down on me before. US-75 just north of downtown Dallas. Definitely sketchy. If the front tire had been punctured, there would be a new tire on the way from Revzilla.

I've had several rear tire flats (the last one went flat at 85+ on I-37 in Corpus Christi due to a failed valve stem) and they are much more manageable. Like I said I'll check the PSI in a few days when I get back into town. If it is down significantly I'll suck it up and unmount the tire and install an inside-out mushroom plug/patch. If not we'll run it indefinitely.

I had repeatedly Googled what kind if coolers or insulation will fit the cases of my BMW R1200GSA. I ended up with a little Coleman soft cooler that fits pretty well in the top case.

Attached File

By total coincidence I just found out that an RTIC 28-can day cooler fits perfectly in the large (right) saddlebag on the GSA. Maybe it will fit well in the hard luggage of other ADV bikes.

The best part is it's only $39.99 for the black one on Amazon.

RTIC Day Cooler (Black, 28-Can)

Plenty of room to store what you need to keep cool for up to 24 hours.
Two places to store water bottles, extra snacks and small gear-a zippered pocket in the front and two mesh pockets on the sides.
Includes an adjustable shoulder strap for carrying comfort.

The Brembos aftermarket? Very nice bike.

Did some hunting around downtown looking for some cool backdrops. Fremont St right near the sketch part of downtown

After my 5th of peppermint schnaps I shared with the local boys, I found some spots.
