Ran over a broken beer bottle, added 2 cans of gunk and rode it home. That's what the guys from the B.A.M. brought (breakdown assistance for motorcyclists, used to be called Bikers Against Manslaughter) when I called the number on the membership card (free membership).
Two days later rode it from Long Beach to Biloxi, had a new tube put in. Tire carcass got a real liner type patch. Can't remember the distance, but if you check your atlas, the bike shop was just south of Pass Road outside the west gate of Keesler AFB.
Probably close to 75 miles on fix-a-flat. Part of it 2-up, Lisa's 450 Rebel developed terminal carb/fuel system issues on the same ride. left it at a riding friend's house partway home.
IIRC thats gate 7,,I lived about 8 blocks down the road for 9 months in 73 & into 74..Google Earth shows a Whole new world out there. I think the trailer park is gone,,
