Sadness is going out side in a strange city and finding a rear flat tyre and having bees sold a shit puncture repair kit.

That's a real bummer... like the time I was 300 km from home in the middle of nowhere when the radiator hoses burst at 11am. On the phone to organise a vehicle and trailer, wait for it to arrive, and then tow it home again. 9 hours wasted, (plus the original 3 and a half hours ride)
What type of repair kit have you got? (just so others will be in the know, and can avoid it)

Always a pain in he Ar%e :cuss. Just a few years back when I had the Burgman, it too had a very slow leak. Drop ten psi in 2 weeks. Bought a bottle of Slime added as per instruction and wallah no more leak that. After my last RTE in December, 2 weeks later, went to move bike and guess what, flat rear :H. Not good as this was week between Christmas and New Year. MMMMmmmmm, thought ok wait for shop to open and get repaired, then thought still had half can of Slime left lets give that a go. No more flat rear. Reminds me to get another can, and leave it in pannier. Done. I also have a repair kit but this Slime stuff remains liquid until a pressure loss, does its thing then waits for the next time, seems to be quite good,,, Bought it in Repco or one of those places in a green bottle. About $15......................... :wht11

Thanks for the reminder Nigel. I bought some to use in pushy tyres but have some left so I mt load it in the topbox. Might be a lefesaver for myself or someone oneday.
Cheers
