What is a MUST for you to have when riding?

**Macros** · 6th November 2008, 21:35

A can of Engine Start.

Balls.
I have to go and nicely ask my wife for them, and sometimes do a few chores before she'll let me have 'em back.

My nice lime green neckwarmer that my sister bought me in UK.
Ewan McGregor has the same one and wore it while on his Guzzi in the start of "Long Way Down"

Plenty of smokes is a must.

Just to help Murry out, time to boost this thread.

In fact we should have a Sticky with good ideas.

Why thank you.

Fun is the biggest thing for me to have.

I'm sure you've had other BIG things that were even more fun

**husaberg** · 1st April 2015, 20:07

A bike or a willing pillion?

**Tazz** · 1st April 2015, 23:43

Petrol and tunes. Most the other shit I bring is never needed.

**Banditbandit** · 2nd April 2015, 11:26

Yeah .. I believe in Travel light, travel fast ....

I do have things like a tyre gauge and a small multi tool somewhere in the pockets of my leathers ... they just live there ..

**awa355** · 5th April 2015, 23:44

Never bothered with a tyre gauge, It the tyre is flat, I have a pretty fair idea what the pressure is.

If its not flat, I keep on riding.

As for writing your blood type inside the helmet, as an Ambo for many years, blood type is irrelevant at the road side. Hemacel and normal saline is standard fare for blood volume replacement regardless of blood type. It may help at the hospital, although they would always do a blood type check anyway.
