You should have ridden faster once you inflated the tyres.

Once we plugged the rear tyre on my 1290 last year in the picos, I was regularly at silly speeds. The hotter the tyre the better!

Silly me carried a bottle of fuckin’ engine oil on my first European trip. Bike never drank a drop. Never again.
Always have my top box on, so on a day trip will have water, snacks and lots of little tools to deal with parts that want to fall off. Puncture repair kit and pump. Has saved me when I found myself with a low puncture over a long weekend.
Though puncture kit couldn’t handle a tear in my rear tyre that I could poke a finger in. Long wait on a hot afternoon for recovery van.
Panniers are only for long trips with my togs.

With a plug fine , but the goo stuff is a get to the garage thing. Run plugs myself on tyres and no issues .
FMJ possibly.......
This depends where you are going, if riding off road I take a spare inner tube and levers incase I can't repair the puncture, plus tools to remove wheels, cable ties,tape etc etc on top of my everyday riding kit. I always have a pump, pepperoni strips, metal putty, all under my rack in a wunderprick bag.Long tours I pack a wifi GS911.
Under the seat i have one of them cheap eBay jump starters, seems to work well.
I always ride with a back pack that has a multi-tool and a few torx, add a phone and a credit card and i'm done.
