what to do in a worst case senario?
hey everyone, i have an 08 crossbones and have begun taking longer and longer journeys around the USA, but i dont even know what to do should i get a flat tire on this bike. I'll spare what i think i can do if i got a flat and let you tell me what is the correct way to go about packing for and repairing a puncture on a tubed tire. youtube links welcome, i wasn't able to find any on a tubed motorcycle tire.

Cheap insurance and well worth it. I like knowing that if something happens to me, at the least I can get a tow and a ride to the nearest dealership. Beats the hell out of sitting on the side of the road wondering what the hell I'm gonna do. That is a bad feeling!!

Tubes suck... PERIOD! Thank God for tubeless type rims. I guess there is a very good reason why HD doesn't use tubeless type spoke rims. Anyone have any ideas? They're available aftermarket.

I went with AAA as quoted above.
Sometimes you may be able to pull it out with a repair kit and a can of fix-a-flat, but better to have other options IMHO.
YMMV.
