I picked up the Mother Of All Thorns on B2V and kept riding for 3 months on that tire thanks to Slime. I always had a nice little dab of green goo on the tire each morning. A thorn can indeed penetrate a KLR tire. Pretty unlucky, tho. RM

I just looked at a bottle of Slime for tube-type applications. The bottle said don't go faster than 75mph on a tire with Slime installed in it. Has this proven a problem in real life? -E

I only have recent experience with the ones in downtown Seattle, 47th st. Manhattan and here in Colorado Springs. In these you get a straight steam - pun intended. I'll stay away from the one in Minneapolis. Bogdan
