Some fine Japanese cheese.

Patterns for what you would need if you wanted to do any work on the bike.

No, not by a long way.

There's plenty of people who use tools for a living who don't know the difference, which still even now disappoints me greatly.

Yep me to. Or I did have until I lent it to somebody on last years Glencoe massacre and never got it back. I must get another one.

IMHO the only thing in the standard toolkit is the Suzuki Plug Spanner.

Funnily enough, I was only thinking of that yesterday. Did the guy ever give you the money for it Fizz?

And another for the Fixerpeg.

If you're riding a bike then Recovery after a breakdown and/or accident should be high on your list of priorities IMO.

I will look into the fixer peg , what is the easiest punture repair kit to use then?

And i do have it, what i meant was if its a simple thing that i could fix id rather not call them only to get towed home/to a garage.
