I managed to get a nail in the tyre of my track bike, I had it repaired and did two track days, then fitted it to my R1 and did approximately 1500 miles on the road with it.
I know how ya feel. Had a puncture in a week old tyre. No probs I thought, I'll just get the puncture repair kit out from under my seat. Right then....how the hell do I use it??!! Had a ring a mate up to do it for me!!
