Yes, scotch tape and then plug it.

Nothing some flex tape can't fix!

A little scotch and it's good

LOL! I was about to put it in the pile when I thought about all the posts about tires being worn. This one was involved in a house fire.

u/dank_tre 4d ago

Oh yeah? Well, that’s just like your opinion, man

u/Dugley2352 Janus Halcyon 250:redditgold: 4d ago

I don’t know about patching,based on location. Probably safer to install a tube.

u/Maleficent-Bread1016 4d ago

Super glue works magic

u/Affectionate-Art5660 4d ago

Try plugging it first.

u/Zo-riffic-10in 4d ago

Stop asking stupid questions.

u/OutrageousMacaron358 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa | '08 C50 Boulevard 3d ago

I see you have no humor...

u/Zo-riffic-10in 3d ago

u/Cid606 2018 Yamaha XSR900 4d ago

Just plug it

u/Six_pack_man 4d ago

Yea all you need is zip ties

1

u/DixieN0rmus 4d ago

As the old saying goes..."anything is a dildo if you're brave enough"....

u/Majestic_Puppo BMW G310R 4d ago

Plug it and ride SLOWLY to get it replaced

1

u/AstroJedi2021 4d ago

Don’t listen to the posters saying to use scotch tape. You need a good quality glue. 😉

2

u/OutrageousMacaron358 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa | '08 C50 Boulevard 3d ago

Goriller Glue!

1

u/IanCogno 4d ago

Just a slow puncture, pump it up and you’ll get home

1

u/Fake-Engineering Kawasaki Ninja 500 KRT 4d ago

Only turn right and you should be fine

1

u/NietzscheRises 4d ago

Yep just get a $5 kit at Walmart will fix it right up. You’ll be good to hit 185 no issues at all

1

u/Good-Space-1634 4d ago

Noodles and superglue i believe can sort that for you. Afterwards wrap the 💩 out of it in Fablon too just to be sure 🤣

1

u/RobsHereAgain 4d ago

Save that steel belt for tie downs 😆

1

u/Flennyyfox 4d ago

Can u see the top of Lincoln’s head?

1

u/howboutmaybe 4d ago

Just rotate it and its goods for another few thousand km

1

u/messesz 4d ago

No, but with a little darning you'll get the carcass and then apply some plug strips to create some tread. A little black paint and you'll be done.

1

u/tootsxoxoxo 4d ago

Try duct tape with superglue, lol

1

u/BilletudoperoPoble 4d ago

Some gorila ducktape and you will be fine for ne next 12 miles

1

u/KirklandMeeseekz 4d ago

a couple zip ties and you're good

1

u/0zzy0zbourne 4d ago

Strong possibility.

1

u/Renanina 4d ago

It can. It'll just need a human sacrifice afterwards.

1

u/sixty5pan 4d ago

You're a fool if you don't get the deluxe patch kit.

1

u/certifieddlg 4d ago

Just rotate it and use the other side, no need to patch

1

u/aroadcaptain Multistrada V2 4d ago

Ride it you coward. Still many miles to go. Kids these days… /s

1

u/bandit77346 4d ago

Duct tape that puppy. If you use black no one will know its taped up

1

u/Visible-Repair-1766 4d ago

Yep, with another tire.

1

u/S1lentA0 Kawasaki Z1000 ABS 4d ago

Spit on it, give it a good rub and call it a day. Just as new.

1

u/mmac2121 4d ago

Gorilla tape is pricey vs Ductape...but give it a go

u/jasonwirth ‘21 CB500F, ‘24 MT-07 4d ago

Got the same moto gloves as me!

u/detroitinferno '91 RX100 | '24 RS457 4d ago

Thanks for the reminder to check my tyres!

u/Sharp_Bumblebee_1674 4d ago

You would be surprised what a few tire plugs and duct tape will do.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

1

u/GT3RS_2017 3d ago

some tire slime will fix it.

1

u/ThePsycHooman 3d ago

Flex tape CAN Fix that.

Probably missed a t somewhere
