Tool roll: the only tools I use to work on the bike are in this tool roll. Any time I work on the bike, if I don't have the right tool it gets added to the roll. I'm working on the idea that if I keep doing this I'll have a good set that will cover 90% of what might go wrong when away on a trip anywhere. I don't carry the torque wrench and I don't have big workshop tools, but most other things I can fix with this set if I need to.
Tool roll also contains spare fuses, some wire, spare indicator bulb (used to carry a spare rear bulb but now have one of techno's led rear lights and I have hid headlights), cloth, latex gloves, hand cleaner, epoxy, jbweld, zipties. Keys have a micro light on them.
Puncture repair kit is in the tool roll.
small 12v compressor.
Used the puncture kit for the first time a few weeks ago when I found a screw in the tyre and it was going down. a few minutes at the side of the road with the repair kit and I'm on my way again without having to wait a couple of hours for a breakdown truck.
I keep an AA card in my wallet and always have my phone.
GPS lives in the topbox along with a couple of tie down straps and a bungee net, a biro and some paper in case I need to take anyone's details in the event of an accident.
might be worth having something to read whilst waiting or an ipod
