Default What do you keep under your seat.

New topic to keep Dan happy.

As you know you have limited space under the seat on most bikes to keep useful stuff. So what do you chose to keep in there.

For me:-

Under the pillion seat/cowl
  • Pair of waterproof trousers stored in a waterproof bag so if I get caught in the rain I put trousers on and put other non-water proof things in the bag the trousers were in.
  • First aid kit
  • Side-stand puck
  • Tyre pressure gague
  • 12v cigarette lighter socket that plugs into Opti-mate lead
  • Cargo net
  • Twix (recently eaten by mice somehow*)
  • RAC recovery card
  • Spare fiver/tenner dependin on what I have available on the day
  • Old battered map of Southern counties (slightly mouse chewed*)
*Need to find somewhere to fit a mousetrap or very small cat.

Used to be able to fit few more things into the curvy than you can on the pointy but guess that's one of the many downsides of going pointy
