Son's been riding dirt bikes for pleasure and competition for many years.. 37 years young.
He did carry a spare, never needed it and rode it all the way home on I5. Let me tell ya though that bike got real dirty! Chains have rubber "O" rings to keep the gunk from getting inside the rollers. He did spray lube the chain every time he filled with gas. He averaged 70MPG with that Honda.
He did change gears and chain when he got home.
