End screen crew answer - yes twice on bikes with tubed tyres - one I had to get recovered - sealant didn't work and inner tube was too badly torn to patch! Second one a slow puncture - again sealant only half worked - limped 300 miles home on a Sunday - no repair shops open - reinflating tyre every 50 miles or so with a ferry to catch! Morale of stories - carry a spare tube - get a bike with tubeless tyres - a repair kit and a spare tube for when it doesn't work!

I love the Amanda and Gary team. I have never had to fix a flat on the side of the road. I had a tire go flat while my motorcycle was sitting in a parking lot for hour. It is much less stressful plugging a tire in a parking lot than on the side of a road. There was also no battle of trying to do a controlled stop with a tire that is losing air.

So far I have not had a flat tire EVER but now I am cursed. However once coming back from a trip one of the guys key broke off in the tank so messed with that (not me but there were several of us) in Shaniko OR. Messed with it and couldn't get a resolution so he said to break the ignition. One hammered screwdriver later the ignition was driven out of the steering head and all the contents spilled onto the ground. Luckily they found everything and was able to put it back together and make it function so it would turn on. Couldn't put it back in the head so thankfully I had a roll of black tape (I helped :D) so it was taped up and now not able to be turned off but we got home. Yaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

Your fist bumps are too cool, it makes me smile when you do them. I did miss your supergirl tent fly dance on this one though. :) About the flat tire along the highway - Been there done that on the Million Dollar Hwy in Co at dusk with no shoulder, and lots of curves. I was able to ride it to a driveway for the Purgetory Resort. With the bike safely off the road and in a comfortable place with a phone, I decided not to plug the tire and to call Triple A instead. At the time I didn't have a cell phone, it was in the 1980s and I was riding a big heavy full dressed Harley (FXRD). Oh, how times have changed, Keep the good stuff coming!!!!

It was great seeing you guys again at GetOn Advfest! Love your duo commentary. Harlowton is a cute town; I've never stopped at the coffee shop before so will need to do that next time I go through. I've also ridden by Ingomar a couple times but never stopped, not sure why, I love history. I rode Hwy 12 to Ryegate then took a dirt road south to Columbus, then continued south to Wyoming. That heat was brutal, I got near heat exhaustion in Sheridan, WY. I had taken the pass east of Lovell, which was beautiful but due to the cooler temps I wasn't drinking enough water. I declined that pass into what felt like the first level of Hell, got caught in road construction. I was drinking water but got behind, by the time I reached a travel plaza in Sheridan I had the shakes, dizziness and heart was pounding. I dropped the bike, luckily a guy ran over to help me get it back up. I was literally a hot mess!😂 I spent 2 hours in the plaza drinking and eating to get back to feeling "normal". Lessons learned that day for sure! End screen question: I have not had a flat tire on the road, (I know need to knock on all the wood in the house) I've had leaking valve stems which I caught from excessive checking my tire pressure.

Yes, another motorcycle rider( not with me) saw me pull off and checked to see if I was OK. He had a compressor and plug kit, but my bike has tubes. We got it aired up and were not far from town, he helped me to a Walmart where I bought a patch kit and borrowed the tools to get it done.

I've been lucky enough to not have an on road flat. I try really hard to change tires relatively right before leaving. Of course, that doesn't mean something dumb won't knock it out. I do carry a tire kit with bacon strips, and a compressor. Hopefully, I never need them. I used highway 12 in Michigan and I think also in South Dakota. A solid road that kept me off the bigger road.

We have had to handle several flat tyres, one was in the pouring rain, with a tubed tyre that we thought was tubeless & found it wasn’t when the compressor was pumping hard out and air was coming out of the spoke holes in the rim. Stopping every 1000 metres to keep the tyre partially inflated made it a slow trip (we only had a tubeless repair kit for my K1200, not for my wife’s R9T).

Two tires, both front and back at same time on my new cb500x with 800 miles on it.. Both were small gutter screws they picked up on the expressway, stopped on busy side street into a driveway. The owner came out, who was a biker, he helped and pulled a compressor from garage. Removed the screws and used the same plugging method your brother did on both tires. These tire patches have 4,400 miles on them, a round trip from OH to FL, including the trail of the Dragon, and mixed use with not problems. It's an urban myth that patches, if done properly, won't last on motorcycle tires.
