RE: Tire Plug Kit

I've plugged two tires in the last few years. One plug held for thousands of miles and one began to leak small amounts of air. The first tire was nearly brand-new and I ran it with no problems until it was shot. The other tire wasn't so new, but I still managed to soldier it along, adding air each week until it was done. Used standard rope-type plugs and a kit obtained in the local auto parts emporium. Don't know anyone who's used the Stop-n-Go, but it looks pretty good.

@ohiomailman: This is what I have, it's a pretty good kit with a nice pouch and laminated instructions, it's pricey but the reviews were great on revzilla, plus it fits in my sargeant seat storage compartment!

Just bought one. Looks nifty... and Hags LOVES nifty. Like, long time.
Fun fact: for 2012 I've had two punctures, both in the rear. Not that way! Pervs!
Anyhoo... no more strandings and having to pull up my pant leg; which has worked famously so far.

Yeah, if you have a puncture and lose all the pressure in a tire out on the road, or in a motel parking lot, a ParkNGo can be a godsend, especially if you are solo.
At least at COG events, we haven't been able to move the bike but we could put it up on the center stand and pull the wheel off and then take it to a nearby dealer and get a new tire put on.
There are benefits to riding with a large group. One of the guys has almost a full shop in his top case. You need a #2 torx? He's got it. An inch-pounds torque wrench? Check.
