Thanks for the replies.
I’ve written to the AA about my experiences and asked about motorcycle transportation.
It used to be easier and more reliable with the AA in the past. On two previous occasions/punctures, my BMW airhead was transported back home once on a flat bed truck and then on a clever retractable trailer.
Both were fairly local collections.
My dad used to fix the Vin at the side of the road. Also would carry engine parts
and a spare wheel or tyre on travels abroad. Might have been with the Steib sidecar also.
With the Vin, you can do this. I have fixed a puncture on the R60/6 before but
conditions and locations are rarely suitable.
Don’t think I’d want to try it again either.
I did try a tubeless plug and repair kit on the puncture yesterday but the hole was a bit too large.
The AA guys persevered and put extra plugs in then tried heat on it to seal.
Just about held up till I got home.
