Default What tools do you carry with you in your ride?

I carry my standard Suzuki toolkit, spare allen keys, tire plugging kit (Carmel type plugs), and an air gauge.

You fit all that in your ridiculously small trunk? I think Cakes said you can fit two pieces of gum at best in there

I carry no tools because my bike didn't come with the kit. I do carry napkins, ear plugs, sunblock, a hat, chapstick, camera, and some other miscellaneous items. I'm sure if I really needed, I could pull a MacGyver

I didn't get the tool kit... since I bought my bike used and the previous owner didn't have it.

I carry a kickstand puck and sunglasses.

My emergency took kit is my cell phone.

I usually just carry my Honda toolkit but I would like to start taking along tire plug kit. A lot of time you end up riding in the middle of nowhere down here...

Vinny which one to you use?

I carry the Honda tool kit that came with my bike, a Cruz sportbike multi tool (I got free from Honda), my cell phone, and a small bottled water. You never know when you may get thirsty.

Before anyone asks, yes I can carry a decent amount of stuff in the tail on my 900RR.
