I've got a WD40 pen, about the size of a marker. B&Q about a quid and a half..

Got one of those, my wife bought it thinking it was a spray. Not much use if you are caught out in the rain with a misfire because of water in a plug lead cap.

Am I the only one that carries a roll of bog roll??? Nothing worse than getting caught short without it!!! :help: :smt010 :D

I have got all sorts of aforementioned junk in my rucksack that I carry everywhere 'just in case', but forget the puncture repair kit, I reckon the bog roll is the most crucial item in there!!! :)

Noted :D

Believe me, when you have been ‘pinching it’ for a while and finally admit defeat, pull over - dashing to a hedgerow, (lets face it, probably with ‘turtles head’ (or worse :oops: :D) at this point), the roll is a godsend!! …

As you might sense/guess, I have been there without it … … … never ... I say NEVER again!!! :D

Well I have a CO2 puncture repair kit. (Never had a puncture since I got it)

tie wraps

spare bulbs

spare fuses

Enough tools to take off both wheels if needed, adjust the chain, take the tank up, remove the carbs. Also various other tools for those unexpected moments including adjustable spanner, and other sort of things.

Also have spare levers. Surprised that no one else has mentioned this to be honest. It only takes a very small drop to snap a lever. Would be a damn bugger to be stranded for hours just because you didn't have a spare lever that you could put on in a few minutes.

If all else fails I have my AA card.

to the above add

cell phone, credit card, prophylactic(s).

Well these go in your clothing not the kit bag.

My insurance card has a road rescue feature for $25 a year, 100 mile ride home for bike. Cheaper than my airman sparrow which I also never used yet.

I put a £20 note and some 20p pieces into my toolkit after filling up with no wallet a couple of times :oops: and also running out of battery when trying to phone the RAC, back in the good old days when I used to hav them on speed-dial.

AA card and mobile, combo of tools, wd40 miniature can,...............a toaster, a vase, the latest top of the range dvd travelling kit, a fine set of wine glasses and a cuddly toy :shock: :D

regards the mobile, mate gave me an emergency battery pack for the mobile. when you want to use it and theres no charge left, just plug in the credit card type battery via the lead and you can make the call. great for emergencies.
