Tools to carry

[zdaveuk]

After being out on Saturay with Martin, Jef,Peter and Chris. We got talking about what we carried on the bike in way of tools etc. I dont mean on a long journey, but when out and about . It turns out that as I only carry the BMW tool roll that came with the bike I`m very inadequate (missus tells me that all time ).
The others carry everything from a tow rope to a mini compressor

So what I was wondering are they over cautious or am I under equiped ?(funny missus says that too)

After reading through R1200GS toolkit info at the following link I made up a toolkit based on the recommendations. Had most of the bits and pieces lying around so just careful packing and low and behold I got everything to fit including spare bulbs.
