   I had a brilliant idea. Since I have two sets of mounted tires I'd put a   
   real tire in the trunk or whatever you call a hatchback's storage area   
   when the spare is. Forget about it!   
      
   I carry a plug kit and an air pump. It's bailed me out a couple of times.   
   I do the same for the two bikes that have tubeless tires. I've done a   
   roadside tube patch with the DR650 and I really rather not do that again.   
   It didn't help that it was the 4th of July and hotter than a firecracker.
