The smallest size MagLite. Gives plenty of light and takes up no space. I don't carry a disc lock anymore because the downside of riding away with the thing on far outweighs the remote possibility of somebody stealing it with the steering locked anyway.

I carry a map book, kickstand puck, disc lock, and tool kit. I used to carry my digi-cam, but I sold it and am now waiting for my Digi-vid. Don't forget the pen and paper.....ya never know.

If ya need a kickstand puck, let me know. I can make them here at the shop. 12 Ga. Galv'd material 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" with a 1/2' lip all around.

OK, a lot of these are good ideas. I think I will add the map book, maglite, disc lock, pen and paper, stand puck (by atomlowe) and a tire gauge.

I have heard about air cartridges or something like that? For emergency tire pumping? I have no idea what these are, but a few Americans I chat with swear by them.
If you read on the can, they're not supposed to be used on a bike. I don't know why, but they all say that.

If they've got tire inflator cartridges for bikes now, I'm all over it. Do you remember how much it was? Maybe we could go in on a group buy and get Trevor to drop the 200% mark-up.:D

P.S. I'm kidding, Farhad....Please don't kill me.

Called BK today, spoke to Ron about the tire inflator cartridges, they don't carry anything of the sort. Talked to Ron and he said that he you get a flat while on the road the best thing to do is to pull over and call someone. As if oyu use any of the kits, the gel type, you will have to replace the tire and the cartridges, you will need a few of them to inflate it and that too won't keep it properly inflated as "the bead" would most likely have come off by then.....

Ron went on to say that it happens so rarely that you really shouldn't worry about it, he mentioned that even cruisers/tourers don't have anything good for a puncture....




I do remember though that when I got my blue ZX6R I had developed a slow puncture andgot it fixed at the shop with a rubber/sillicone stub, basically as it heats it becomes rubber kinda thing, that is the best....was at nearly 15k and still had no problem with that tire....
Maybe that was what caused the fire.:eek
