    Don't bother buying a made up kit, full of useless junk.
    You only need - survival blanket, bandage, strip plaster, strapping tape, sissors (the sought that cut thru THICK material), gloves, resus mask, panadol.

As with Gilly, it mostly gets used for the pain killers
    Agree with both you guys -and carry a small kit similar to you two & that i have made up myself

    Great info, thanks guys.

    I don't know that I'd cope around a serious crash situation, so I don't think I'd be much use at all.

    But yeah something to bind up a twisted ankle, something for stings, and a strong painkiller would be most useful to me.

    Won a small MC 1st Aid Kit at a rally a couple of years ago. Usually carry it on long trips but not short ones unless I have room. The kit has all the basics and so far I haven't had to use it. Nice to know it is there if needed tho.

    I've got the dinkiest lil first aid kit but I don't think it's going to be of any use in a serious situation....

    About the only think I'd use out of it regularly is Panadol, and occassionally, anti-histimine tabs for stings.

    Good thread though...

    First Aid Kit: Summary
    You only need - survival blanket, bandage, strip plaster, strapping tape, sissors (the sought that cut thru THICK material), gloves, resus mask, panadol.
    a triangular bandage, some tweezers, propax (gauze pads) and a couple of vials of saline solution.
    invest in a multi tool - I use a Gerber Suspension. Some cash.
    I don't have tweezers or triangle bandages or painkillers in mine. Just a CPR mask, scissors (basic), wound cleaning wipes, bandaids, aNd splinter probes O_o.
    Add some butterfly bandages. These will close a wound, sort of like a temporary stitch. (or a sewing kit )
    Cheers guys, I'll use this list to make my own :P

    I carry pain killers - figure if I fall off, I might need a bit more than a bandage. In all the years of riding, never thought of a first aid kit, and never been in a situation where I though, gosh, I could do with one now.

    But really good comments on here - food for thought
