I should have carried a spare like that this past Saturday as I had a flat.

I used to do that routinely on the Blonde's Vino. I'd bungee the wheels to the scoot's backrest, and then around my waist wear the new tires I was planning on changing out. 'Course, moto tires aren't nearly as side as car tires.

Most cruiser riders I see also do this.
Although they always keep the spare tire under their t-shirt/vest/etc.

That may be one of the best pieces of gear that I have seen yet. With a helmet, you are almost in destructable.

I did this once. I had to replace my tires, there was one shop that could do it ASAP but didn't have my tires in stock, the other place had them in but couldn't change them. Luckily it was only about 2 miles and straight.

I've done that once - with a rear tire. The top case rack on the Bandit easily accommodates a set of tires.

This is standard procedure at the racetrack. I'm so used to it that it seems perfectly normal. Hauling wheels, tires, gas cans, rearstands, etc. on scooters at high rates of speed is just what has to be done.
