Discovered a screw in my rear tyres Saturday morning. Called Chris and he was honest enough to say it may be a bit tight to get out same day but would Sunday at 10am be okay.
Arrived today and tyre repaired just after 11am. Not bad for £50 and not having to risk riding to a garage for repair.
Last puncture (last summer) cost me £25 for a mushroom plug repair at Swallows motorcycles, that time I took my wheel in, I think they charge an extra £10 if they have to take your wheel off.

Mushroom Plug
I know i can get it cheaper say at FWR but getting from my home to them with a dodgy tyre is not worth the risk to save £25.
Is that a temporary repair or a mushroom plug?

Hold Da Kæft
the main problem being if you get a puncture that wont hold air you will have a long wait for a recovery truck to get you to FWR or you pays your money you get a fixed tyre at your location
If you’re with AA and you have got puncture and you think its pluggable MAKE SURE you request an AA patrol ( yellow van) if they assign a garage agent as they all carry mushroom kits . May be a bit longer to wait but bish bash bosh and if its not repairable they have motorcycle recovery facilities on board .
I once witnessed an RAC man repair wee_frenchie's rear tyre with a plug. I was so impressed I found out the kit he used and bought my own. I then promptly lost it in the cave somewhere.

It's still there... it's used the moisture in the cave to develop into a mushroom
