Question - if it holds the air, is it safe to ride for a few months or so...or better to have it replaced immediately? thanks for any thoughts on that... Berndt

Since this post (plug)...I've been monitoring the results of my plug and it's been holding up. https://modernvespa.com/forum/topic51575?highlight=tire+plug
