Exclamation Scariest front tyre puncture ever

Hello Every one I�m new to the Xt660z, well to the whole ADV concept.

On Sunday, I was on the middle of the highway around 120 km per hour and my front tyre went completely flat in seconds, I notice for maybe 5 seconds that the bike was pulling to one side and the handle bar was a little stiff and then BAM the bike was completely unstable and wobbling like crazy. I try my best to keep the handlebar steady while I was braking (back break only) and using the engine to decrease the speed too. Maybe it was a rookie mistake as soon as I felt that the bike was a little stiff I should pull over, but it was just seconds to react.

It was the most unpleasant and scariest experience ever, so I wouldn�t like to repeat it again.

Therefore, I would like to know if there are any alternative you guys may be using to avoid the tubed tyres and just use tubeless. Or at least some new alternative/technologies of tube that doesn�t goes flat in matter of seconds allowing you to at least pull over safely.

Anyone may have an idea?
I had some Spoked rims so i know i cannot use the tubeless on this kind of rim but maybe some of you guys knows a trick about how to do it.

Kind Regards
JuanC
