    Just echoing sentiments in this thread really....

    - Kit would have been much handier out and about. At least now you can get a couple more canisters and take the thing with you to save having to be trailered home.
    - As above, get someone competent to look at it once and repair properly you've limped home. 'Look at it' will mean removing the tyre. I would still suggest you do this now regardless of how 'permanent' you think your repair is.
    - Attacking the corner.... whaaa? You are lucky you didn't drop your bike. You'd have wasted a lot more than $70 then, huh.

    Oh, and FYI, don't count on those cylinders delivering enough air to bring the tyre up to full pressure if you're starting from scratch. The medium cylinders deliver about 8 psi.

    Either carry more cylinders (especially if you cock up the first repair... or worse, get another puncture), or use an air compressor instead... or a hand pump if you're a masochist.
