TUBE TIRE PATCH???

[DIGGER]

Passed a Harley with a flat on hyway 249 Saturday.    I stopped to assisst and low and behold the guy let me.............shocker..........  I carry a patch kit and an airpump but he had a tubeless tire with spoke rims.   Tried airing it up but wouldn't stay up.   The guy didn't know what he was gonna do so I offered to go home and get my trailer.........about 20 miiles away.......but he decided he would use his insurance and call a wrecker service to see if they could carry a bike.    I couldn't help him so I left.   He was sure appreciative that I stopped. 

Do they make anything that will temporarily stop up a tube long enough to go a short distance???????????   will the green slime work in a pinch?????

I found out when i had my MGB that with spoke type wheels you have to run tubes (of course) but if you run radial tires you must have a radial tube,,that caused me all kinds of problems until i found that out,  i was putting regular tubes in it and they would last about 200 miles and then a hole would get rubbed in them...i sat for hours on the side of the road looking for problems with the wheel when an old fart like myself came by and said "buy radial tubes" never another flat after that...

i've used fix a flat in tube tires on dirt bikes  to get them back to camp or on the trailer. Sometimes it works real good sometimes not. If it is rim cup it doesn't work well.
