I carry a soft one under my bike seat. Came across a bike
accident - scissors came in handy to cut off the guys
pants. and the thermo blanket wouldv'e come in handy
(but another driver had a blanket)

Yep, as an ex-RN I carry a first-aid kit.

So does anyone carry a fire extinguisher on their bike (I don't, but it could be handy)?

I've gone with a bumbag, because then I've also got room for my wallet and cellphone in there and doesn't interfere with the lovely speed hump on my leathers like a backpack would. You can cram quite a bit in a bumbag. Here's what I recommend you carry:

Gloves (3 pairs)
2 bandages (10cm and 7.5cm)
some gauze squares
2 combine dressings
2 x 30ml saline
1 triangular bandage
CPR face shield
plasters
scissors
tape

You forgot the intravenous drip line complete with cert to use it !!

I have the kit that wa handed out at the beginning of a KB ride one time. Fits nicely under the seat.
