Tire goop is a last ditch band aid, imo. A mini compressor or even a decent sized Black & Decker style compressor, a decent plug kit, (half a dozen top quality kits available on line), a few 'tools': needle nose pliers/locking pliers, a plastic tarp to crawl up and under on...it really is a small package.

I have done a few plug deals on friends' m'cycles on road trips, and I
practiced on an old car tire just to get a feel. It will get one down the road to 'help' without the tire goop.

Have run non-RFTs in the VetteVert with that 'kit' for several years without giving it a 2nd thought.
