baylensman Posted October 16, 2014 #1 Posted October 16, 2014 :Cool_cool36:So we've had a few discussions on tools and rain gear. What do you carry ALL THE TIME on the bike? Rain gear, compressor, spray bottle of ICE, a couple of rags, a chamois, factory tool kit, aftermarket 10mm wrench, a hex key set, extra nuts and bolts, small roll of electrical tape, two extra pair of sunglasses, full up rain goggles, a couple lengths, of wire and a kick stand plate. What do you carry and can't live without?

kevin-vic-b.c. Posted October 16, 2014 #4 Posted October 16, 2014 The Everyday stuff is much different from traveling stuff. Everyday I carry my DL and a Visa card at least. I wear full face and ATGATT so I have pretty good protection from the elements. Most time there is a second pair of gloves appropriate for the season in a trunk or saddlebag and the telephone charger is always plugged in in the trunk. On the Everyday ride like a commute to work, well I am 10 minutes from home to work so nope don't carry tools or slime or anything that is for weekend or longer rides. So if I have DL Visa maybe a coffee card I am set for the day.
