Good skills. I picked up a front puncture on my old DR600 at around 40-50mph somewhere between Ebbw Vale and Risca and only noticed when slowing down to exit the motorway and the front end got in a mess. Took it steady back to work in Newport and then on the ride home to Ponty before fixing the flat. It was ok if you kept your weight back and stayed at around 45 as the centrepetal force meant the front lifted off the tyre.


Oh and I ran a tube with slime in for 15,000 miles with no issues.
