R230 - Great article, thanks for posting! Looks like most of us old guys are fine with plugging, but the "Young Lions" may be buying a lot of new rubber. "Speed costs money, how fast can you afford to go?" 

"Tire manufacturers that condone conventional plug repairs view them as temporary fixes. Also, installing a plug or a plug-patch may nullify the speed rating, and we suggest abiding by the limits described on the plug kit's packaging. Typically, the suggested maximum speeds are 50 mph within the first 24 hours of a repair, increasing to a maximum of 80 mph afterward. In either case, these speeds could be significantly lower than what your tire’s rating achieves, not to mention your bike’s performance. Still, 80 mph is well above most posted speed limits in the United States."
