Slime, Beautiful Slime
Until now, a flat tire on a motorcycle meant the end of a ride, a major delay, and significant hassles. That's why Accessories Marketing Inc. is announcing the SLiME PowerSport Smart Spair. SLiME designed the PowerSport Smart Spair specifically for scooters, motorcycles, and ATVs because these vehicles do not carry a traditional spare tire or repair and inflation equipment. The product includes a powerful 300-psi tire inflator, an 8-ounce bottle of Slime tire sealant, wiring accessories for powering up from any 12-volt power source, and a tire gauge-all of this contained in an 8-square-inch shockproof and water-resistant zippered case. Riders can store the compact kit beneath a seat, in a saddlebag, or within a small onboard compartment. Retail starts at $4.98.For more information, call (888) 457-5463, or visit www.slime.com.
