Emergency flat tire kit

Getting a flat: well since I ride my scooter everyday I feel like it's not a question of whether it will happen, but a question of when it will happen. And since I like to be prepared for these kinds of things, I recently decided put a little emergency kit together of tools that can be used to fix a flat on the road. I'm not sure how common it is for people to do this, and although I've had several flats since I've started riding a scooter, this is my first emergency kit. It's a reasonably compact kit, and fits well within the front dashboard with some extra room leftover.

Here's what I put in my kit:

• Tire plug kit. I got mine from the local NAPA auto-parts store, it was the smaller variety. Came with some smaller and bigger plugs, rubber cement, and a plugging tool for $7.
• Small knife. This one's just a box cutter I picked up for less than a dollar. This is used to trim the plug down once it's been placed in the tire.
• Portable bicycle pump. I happened to have an extra one around, but they can typically be found on the cheaper end for less than $20 (make sure these work with Schraeder valves, and not just Presta).

Although I haven't had the chance to actually use the kit on the road, I did end up getting a flat recently after getting the tire plug kit, and successfully plugged the leak at home. I do not actually notice that the tire leaks air any faster than the non-plugged front tire. Self pat on the back for a job well done I suppose. The only thing I feel this kit could benefit from would be a small pair of pliers that would come in handy for extracting any nails, etc. Will be keeping my eyes out for a cheap one.

Update: I've since used the kit on the road several times. It definitely has come in handy. In addition to the kit, another really good way to prevent getting flats is to keep your tire inflated at the recommended pressure at all times (I actually inflate mine higher than the Vespa recommended PSI, I just pump it to the max PSI that's printed on the tire itself). A soft under-inflated tire is much more prone to getting punctured by unwanted objects than a hard one.
