Thanks popgun for the call up , but ya I am sure I commented last time. Like ferret said it is a big can of worms.
Being a motorcycle tire retailer did make me bias.
I always say replace it. We don't get that many miles out of motorcycle tires anyway why take the risk. We never plugged or repaired tires, and yes we did have some people walk out but not many. 80% of our customers were sport bikes or HD walk ins.
I had a relative get back into riding and would hang out at the shop and one day after a sport bike customer had been in and left he said
" now I know way you like those sport bike customers so much"
The customer had come it to brag that he got more the 2000 miles
out of his tire, all I did was smile
