NO!!

While that stuff may or may not work depending on the puncture, it will certainly make a huge mess for whomever's changing your tire resulting in either a pissed off mech or a higher labor charge or both. Nothing getting sticky goop all over your bike too...

Since my first "on road" flat, I've added a mini compressor (http://www.pashnit.com/product/cyclepump.html), CO2 canisters, and the all mighty plug kit (http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Stop--Go-Pocket-Plugger-Tubeless-Tire-Repair-Kit-p-16776.html) that's saved me multiple times. Luckily for me and the folks I roll with, it all fits into the tail of my hoopty.

I've got the same plug kit and it's awesome for the price.

Don't use those liquid fillers.  They will fix the flat but then expect your tire to be off balance.  That stuff never completely dries in there so it will slosh around.  I was also told that usually those flat-fix liquid reduce tire life after it seeps into the rubber.

I've not used (yet) this particular sealant, but something similar in my '77 KZ-1000. I rode this bike from Michigan to Texas several times and did not worry at all about flats. The bike has been in storage since 1984 and has the original front tire. I have put air in the tires twice since then. Reviews and testimonies of the Ride-on product lead me to believe it will do the job. The technical info indicates there will be little or no mess when you change the tires. I recently bought a S2R and plan on using Ride-On on this new bike.
