I agree. That stuff causes more problems then it's worth. In case of a flat, have a cell phone and a friend with a truck or trailer. AAA, AMA, HRCA (Honda Riders club) and many other groups also offer free towing and roadside assistance for bikers. Stay away from the green stuff.

Also listen to Gas man. He knows his shit about building, maintaining, and working on bikes. The same stuff that will work great in a car doesn't always work great on a motorcycle. Don't find out the hard way what works and doesn't.

I don't think I've ever worked on a bike...

The guys are right, FAF is bad stuff for bikes. For cars its a whole different ball game. Get a plug kit. Smaller, easier to carry around, less messy and will get your butt home if needed. I always carry one and someone always needs it (usually for a car), never had to use it myself.

Something else good to carry, zip ties!! (And you cant go wrong with bandaids either )

Walmart FTW! Thats where I pick mine up, in the automotive section. They usually have some that come in a neat lil plastic carry bag, small enough to stuff in with your tool kit or into a tail section. Make sure to get one with the tools, and not just the plugs!
