In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet” because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.
Throughout my journey, I'm raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family lead as normal a life as possible so please donate generously: gogetfunding.com/arewethereyet/
None of that would be possible without my official sponsors:

One way to avoid plugging up the valve is to remove it before filling with slime , balance the bike and spin the tire around to move the sealer around , then fit the valve and inflate !👍👍

[@onherbike]

There are two types of Slime. If you use the squeezable one, you remove the valve. As for the aerosol one, you need the valve to inject it in.

[@JoseRodrigues-tc3dw]

It helps i you move the valve upwards ... normally the liquid/slime pressures up to 20ish bar. it works better when the tire is fully deflated

[@DanielSgnaolin]

🏍"No pain no fun"! The beauty of the two wheelers is that they always lend a helping hand! What beautiful people!😊👍👍👍

[@ler3968]

You are so lucky you have friends all over the US and the world to help when there is drama.

[@throeling]

You are a blessed girl, always having angels around you to help you and get you on the road again! Bikers are always willing to help each other, it is their second nature! And who would have the guts to refuse to help you, haha! ☘️

[@ridewitholdgrizz582]

To use flat fix. Remove the valve stem core , have the valve stem at the top or as high as possible. Then rotate the wheel by hand. It helps if it is on the centre stand. Then reinstall the valve stem core and reinflate the tire.

[@georgew1751]

Great to have such friends along the way! When you take that tire to the shop get ready to hear the mechanics grumble. A couple of MC techs have told me they hate that stuff---but they admit it works.

[@patricktimothy8354]

The stars at night are mind blowing.

[@ROTV-DanLockhart]

I loved the stories about the bikes. What a rude awakening to plow into something with the cruise control on. Onward! Thanks, Kinga!

[@bacbladerunner]

It doesn't seem like the goop would do much for sealing spoke nipples. It will be thrown to the outside, sealing leaks in the tire, but leaving the spokes uncoated.

[@bobdrifter2402]

I think the real drama will begin when you change that tire! All that sticky goop in there will NOT be fun to deal with. But, the sticky goop is often a necessary evil. Good luck and stay safe, Kinga

[@onherbike]

It actually wasn't that bad when I took the tire off to clean the rim later on.

[@bobdrifter2402]

@@onherbike Good to know.....

[@DanB-yb1zp]

Hey Kinga. We’ve had trouble getting campsites in the past. We started using Campnab to help. We get a short term subscription. Use it to book a bunch at once to max out the value. It has worked very well for hard to book campsites.

[@danadiggins793]

Tire problems, UGH!! So frustrating…temporary fixes always be worried. Kinga, love your adventures. I did cross the USA from NH last year and skipped Texas. Big mistake! Thanks for sharing. 😎

[@jonsey156]

Such bad luck in this episode Kinga ! - Glad your 360 is OK ( well it looked OK) ....lucky to have such great people around you ( shoutout to Jay here ) .... catch you in the next one ! ps - I would have opted for a new tyre if you had the chance , just to be on the safe side.

[@bonnetcastel3487]

Hello Kinga, there are days like this when everything goes wrong. I think that providence sends them to us to make us appreciate even better the days when everything is going well! We have to make this positive and make it possible to make another captivating video. May God keep you Kinga. Bonjour Kinga, il y a des jours comme ça où tout va mal. Je pense que la providence nous les envoie pour mieux encore nous faire apprécier les jours où tout va bien ! Il faut positiver cela t' à permis de faire encore une vidéo captivante. Que Dieu te garde Kinga.

[@rick262]

I've had good luck with fix-a-flat by: 1) deflating the tire to 10-12 psi, 2) add the fix-a-flat, 3) ride the vehicle a short distance back and forth to distribute the fix-a-flat inside the tire. Adding the fix-a-flat will increase the tire pressure by a few psi. Add more air pressure as needed.

[@geoffreychaney7287]

Thank you for sharing your adventure.

[@piusbayo7278]

You are handling that well and good luck Qite the undertaking .

[@atilathesonofdanubius4277]

I kept thinking, Watch for snakes. While at big bend I had close encounters with a rattle and a coral snake.

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Helping hands (and slime) make the difference and get you out of trouble. Enjoy your travels, Günter/Nürnberg

[@rickdavis2235]

Big Bend is one of our best kept secrets. Even during spring break there are few people in the park. Did you do Old Maverick Road? I've never used fix-a-flat before but it it's like slime, you need to remove the needle valve, put the slime in, replace the needle valve and air up the tire. Here in south Texas we have a lot of mesquite thorns and cacti.

[@ellenorbovay5226]

You gotta get the tube! Put the Slime in the tube, and put the tube in the tire. Tubeless is a bad deal, you never want to go tubeless. Too many places to leak, the spokes, the rim, the valve. Tube is the only way to go.

[@jdholbrook33]

So nice to look at the sky.. wait till it's dark. You've never seen so many stars in your life. It's really a humbling experience. After about 20 minutes in the dark, the stars are so bright you can walk without a light. I'm definitely going back again soon.

[@fireman12464]

[@drabbit61]

You were having a go on that Tenere 🙄😁 Good to see....still connecting with people. It's good that slime helps

[@trevorduffin9648]

the Rocky Creek compressor is fantastic. it is what I use

[@veiledallegory]

That liquid fix a flat sucks. I try to avoid it at all costs. I use a plug on my tires or put a tube in until I can get it fixed.

[@PhilWhitney]

Enjoy your peaceful solitude and the traveling experiences/adaptation - living free... Success! Motorcyclists will always take care of each other!

[@robertupchurch8088]

Drama! Once I had on my prescription sunglasses and the regular ones were in an interior jacket pocket, they came out of the pocket and wriggled down my right sleeve and out as I was deep in a curve…the back tire ran over them! I’ve never had any luck with the inflator/sealer.

[@rogerhenson6589]

Glad your rear end stopped leaking 😂AWESOME SLIM HAIR 😘

[@leonsmit2188]

Love the videos Safe Trips ! Greetings from Kasane

[@patricktimothy8354]

I love Big Bend. It is one of my favorites places anywhere. But I wouldn't recommend staying in the lower elevations in summer or late spring or early fall.

[@TLH_BobCat]

Jay’s story was remarkable.

[@murrelldooms7982]

I am really happy to see other older people who have been riding all of the country. Kinga l really am happy to watch your adventures. Wishing l was riding with you.

My favorite kind of roads

[@txmorley]

Sorry you had so many problems with Chillie in Big Bend, Kinga! Taking the boat across to Mexico at Boquillas and enjoying the Hot Springs are some of our favorite experiences. Glad you were able to fix the tire problems with your friends. Hope to see you again down the road!

[@onherbike]

Thanks Andy! I made it to the hot springs eventually but I didn't have the time to cross to Mexico 😭

[@rickdavis2235]

@@onherbike You don't need a boat either. You can wade across the river unless there has been heavy rain.

[@RoadChapters]

That looks like you were pretty much camping in the desert. I saw you were in my neck of the woods a while back in T.O. It was surreal seeing you go through Niagara Falls too, I'm there 3-4 times a year on the bike. You can see my vid on the BRO ride that went around there.

[@abassadz1450]

Hi kinga nice to see you a another video I wish you a good trip

[@onherbike]

Thank you 😊

[@mixablefluid9353]

If the air is coming out of the spokes the spokes can be Tighting and get a new Tube . It might be time to get a whole new rim so you don't have any trouble in the future Goodluck

[@Seeker887]

Most spoke wheels are not air tight . That’s why a tube is required. The tube leaks the air goes out around the spokes or valve

[@bulentkonur]

Good Luck:)

[@LaviandOllie]

We love you 🎊 ❤

[@onherbike]

Love you too 🤗

[@daejangjeong6811]

멋져요!❤

[@aliasflashcball4726]

Sorry for your misfortune, but every now and then bad luck sneeks in to try and spoil your day! Don't let it! And I would suggest putting a tube in your tires even if they are rated tubeless because yes eventually they always leak via the spokes and once they do go flat they can leak around the bead as well! This is what I did and never had problems again unless the tire and tube got a puncture! Then with a spare tube you can fix it on the road with a few tools including two flat tire bars. Enjoy your vids Kinga keep on keeping on!

[@CyrixRides2023]

Glad you made the cut Jay!

[@erwingruber6213]

Where you are right now? You should come to Michigan UP.

[@SupRBeeADV]

Yeaaaaa. I made a video. It was so awesome to meet & chill out. and of course sharing your videos.. 😁🐝☁️

[@onherbike]

It was so nice to meet you too Jay. You'll be appearing in the next two episodes 😁🙌

[@WhiteFalcon-tw9wc]

You have to turn the can upside-down for it to put the sealer in

[@antowendo9146]

La valvola dell'aria deve stare dal lato sopra e la bomboletta deve essere capovolta 👍👍👍👍👍👍😉😉

[@goatman86]

If it's the rim you are trying to seal up, remove to valve like Rory said in the comments and posision the wheel so the valve is on 12 o'clock. slowly apply slime so it will run along the inside of the rim instead of the tire. Good luck!

[@ThebaLaChannel78]

[@yorkchris10]

I was just reaching the end of life on a rear tire and the tire shop recommended Slime. The people at the hostel couldn't believe I showed up on a GS and hung around with leaky tire waiting for a new one. I ended up sliming from Alice to Port Elizabeth.

[@rolandstaines3249]

Hi never problem only Solutions ride with smiles & laught lots always. Rolley :)

[@philipwilson867]

Congratulations you found a thorn 😂 I used to go to Big Bend for a week or two every year I took my old Suzuki dr350 and rode every road I could.. Warning don’t get off the road unless you want one of those thorns under your knee cap not good if you’re on a back road.. You know you might get a prick that will stay with you for even. Those things will lift up your skin like a little tent but before you can get help they get soggy and disappear. Seen any green rattle snakes yet.. don’t pet them. Stick around for the chilly cook off. Have fun for me I’m too old to go anymore 😢

[@Jia-dp9cu]

Kinga's video's needs more views 😢its unerated even if her videos are so sweet and beautiful 🥺❤️ I support kinga very much

[@petewatson9866]

Don’t pump the Tyre Weld with the valve on the ground, it just blocks the valve. Also Tyre weld is only supposed to be a temporary solution max 70km

Unless the tire is flat or close to it U must let majority of air out then slow drive around.

Yeah, that type of leak is a bitch. On a tubeless rim! It's so much easier when you get a nail or similar and you can just plug it, and cut the excess off fill with air and your set to go!!

Such a hush place the desert is, thoes quic fix for tyre is just for that, i have bad experience of such produkts after a while it leaks and it be hard to fill tyre. I dont trust as a long solution and the tyre shop is not happy to clean the rim.

[@westho7314]

Tube's are important, you can run tubes in tubeless rims,, Tubeless rims are not leaky liquid stuff friendly but with a tube installed you can use that leaky liquid stuff fine, but use a product called green SLIME, far better. "Fix a flat the stuff yourusing is the shits..

[@shakey2634]

Not likely the liquid stuff would work as the liquid gets slung out to the backside of the tire and away from the wheel and spokes.
