I have both fix-a-flat AND a stop-n-go gun-type kit. I'm glad to read how you dealt with it.....as my wife and I will be on a Wing. I hope I don't need to use it, but it's the best combo us riders can have IMO. I am riding up to Alaska for the first time in my 36 yrs of riding…..and going this week.

And to make things worse, my tires are the tube-type, so tire plugging is not an option! I'd just have to call MOTOW ! But looks like the rest of the trip was great...nice pictures too. man, I would hate for that to happen on the first day of the trip.

Did you have a crack into it or something? I am a bit curious why you cut the higher part and then mount a smaller higher part to keep the wind off you. Paul.

Beautiful pictures - the waterfalls are gorgeous, & the roads ultra smooth. I am sure you had a great time on those roads... Aah.. it'll be ages when we have roads as smooth as those in India :( but still - can't stop riding for small things like that :D That was one neat ride man!

The weather report called for rain and snow Monday and Wednesday so I postponed until later this year. I can't believe how beautiful the trip could have been. Who cares about the tire, tell about the weather and road conditions in Sequioa. Did you go all the wat to Cedar Grove?

Another lesson you still haven't learned is to carry a working GPS. Oh, and to switch to Cingular. Oh, and to always listen to words of wisdom from your fellow rider :-) btw, the google maps looks awesome. Pretty pics! Next time tioga pass and the deserts. Nice one dude.

The pics are awesome joy, wow is just not the word...... It would be a dream to ride a bullet through the places that you went....ah, it will be truly bliss... :-) biking in the US is so much a completely different experience as compared to indian biking....the highways looks amaaaaaazing man...... nevertheless, good to hear that things worked well and you managed to get the new tire and had a good time. ride safe mate mustang that nail definitely was a killer.. was interesting reading about the stop and go kit and its application. guess its for the tubeless tyres….
