also I've travelled many thousands of miles by motorcycle and was never unduly worried by lack of spare
So did I in my youth - and pushed it home a couple of times. Always late at night being left behind by the rest of the pack. ("oh! We wondered where you got to" was the plaintive cry the following day.
My Berkeley Trike had no spare either but I never punctured in that fortunately. The rear was a sod to get too even though you could lift the back up and hold it there while 'someone got under'to fiddle with it. Even though I joined the AA, they hated doing anything to it.
BTW. I have twice seen the AA changing the wheel at the side of the road on an 'Army' Vehicle while the squadies looked on. - Does that that make the AA a Para-military organisation?
