nail in rear tyre, repair or discard
If it in the centre like that i would say repair it, unless your are going racing or regularly do trackdays doing 100mph + etc i would imagine it will be fine, if you want ot be sure get the plug as paul says and then as a belt and braces approach get em to stick a tube in

Day Trip to France
nope just had notification from MAG today the french bikers are going on a protest in june about it , they will require hi viz to be won at all times even on bicyles by all accounts now that will upset the ruddy frogs cos they just love to wear their favorite riders outfit just as some saddos in this country alaways wear a football shirt, shorts and boots when watching match of the day Merv extract from the mail i received from MAG tonight French legislators have decided that motorcyclists should compulsorily wear dayglo and reflective clothing. They also want to see immediate jail terms for those caught doing more than 30mph over the speed limit and larger numberplates for bikes so that they can be more easily prosecuted. There are a raft of other things and remember France went ahead with the 100bhp limit back in the 90's, but not surprisingly, the French riding community aren't best pleased and are arranging a mass day of action for June 18th.

battery advice
Well personally not knowing too much about the modern bikes i cannot really say yes or no, but check the amperage voltage will have to be 12v i am sure then it is just a matter of if it fits into the battery box, i think if you search hard enough online there are web pages that give you the dimensions of batteries etc so a little resarch there will tell you Merv
