I just have a hole in my rear tire right now. I'm just going to play it safe and get a new tire. I'll feel better about it that way.

The Pirelli Sport Demons that I installed on my GS were actually bumpy on the inside, probably to prohibit patching. A plug would probably be the only thing that would work. I've plugged plenty of automobile tires and never had one to fail. But you'll need to weigh the risks when deciding what to do.
