Thanks everyone. I think I will repair it and keep it. It only has 750 miles on it...basically brand new!!

What a pain... I have 4 Avons coming to me in April. Not early enough.

Anybody has a good brand new BB for sale? LOL

Some tire repair shops use a plug/patch. Actually a patch with a plug all in one piece. Sure sounds like a good idea rather that just a plug OR patch. That is one beautiful ride you have. Your motor installation looks fantastic. Who did the install?

thank you very much, Blas. I will try to get both the patch and plug done.

You're very kind on your comments about the car. Dennis Olthoff did the installation. Engine was built by Bill Parham. They were both great! I've written about my experience with them elsewhere on CC.

Cheers!

Over here in France you can buy the repair kit in any auto-factors for a few bucks. I keep one in the boot (trunk) I've used it a few times on my daily drivers, easy to use, you don't even need to take the wheel off the car.

Always amazes me when I hear about the hype for these tire plugs.In all the years and using these plugs on all tubeless tires cars and motorcycles never once had an issue,now the world panics What a RipOff for consumer!The tire Co's are smiling all the way to the bank.Course now the tires have to be plugged from the inside another RipOff!
