Yes I must get a tyre compressor. A couple of years ago, a few miles from the Liverpool Docks, I got a rear tyre puncture on the motorway. Now I'd never repaired a tubeless tyre before but I'd seen it done. When in the US, a friend recommended some Gummy Worms, like sticky bootlaces. I inserted one then stupidly added the screw on adaptor to the gas cylinder first and lost all of the gas. I did it properly the next time but only inflated the tyre to about 10psi. And it still leaked air. I rammed in another Gummy Worm and rode off. Ten minutes later the tyre began to go down and I had a 1/4 mile push to some services. More air went in from the garage air line and off I set again. On the outskirts of Liverpool the tyre again went flat and not a single garage was to be seen. I finally found one down by the Mersey and squirted in a can of Tyreweld. Marvelous stuff. The tyre held up for a few days in the island until they'd ordered another tyre. There are few things as useless as a motorbike with a flat tyre. I MUST get a tyre compressor.
Incidentally I might have seen it here but I've come across an article whereby the decorative plastic casing is removed leaving just the guts of the compressor. Much smaller and easier to pack away.
What me....
