Don't give up man.

If I was super mechanical we'd all be flying around on anti-matter powered Jet Bikes by now.:thumbup:

Or a Ural Patrol perhaps.

"The old R 650 Beemer has mags and I've taken it places it just wasn't meant to go, they have held up superbly"

The mags on my R65 did a pretty good job also. However, i did bang up the wheel with about 10 dings while trying to get out of Turkmenistan before my visa expired. I was riding at night on a bad road and didn't notice a half deflated tyre. The potholes did some damage and a couple of countries later air started slow leaking past the tubeless tyres. I was having to pump it up regularly. I fitted a tube in Tajikistan, then had the wheel straightened in Kazakstan, good as new!
