I've seen spinifex grass used to stuff a car tyre in the outback just to limp it into Alice Springs, (wasn't me) and it worked reasonably well, the car made it, but it's not ideal and certainly towels in a motorbike tyre doesn't make sense. What did the dude who did that think was going to happen?

Could have been trying to scam me into buying a new tire but the other guy wasn't in on it. I don't really know but that's the reason I settled with in my head. They knew if there was a problem I'd come back to the same shop. Common mechanic scam.
Spray something flammable around the rim and light it. That'll pump a flat back up in seconds.
Indeed it will...I've seen it done but haven't needed to do it myself. I carry a co pressor on board my 4x4...did a post on it a while back. I have to really as I air-down often when I off-road.
