Plug,Patch or New Tire

the motorcycle shop that I stopped at to see if they could swap in a new set of tires... they said they didn't have any and that they couldn't get to it to plug or patch it for a couple hours... but if I got some of the SLIME from the parts section... I could just put that in the tire and I'd be good to go... I asked him how well that stuff works and he said he's ridden all summer on a tire with it in cause he got a nail with in 10 miles of getting tires put on. so I truested his juedgement...

never again... I'll error on the side of caution... had I gone off where my tire went flat... I had a 90' drop and no guard rail... even if I didn't die... they wouldn't have ever found me.
