Bike toolkit checklist



Trying to put together a small toolkit to carry around with the bike.
RAC membership card
Mobile phone
Chrome polish
Polishing cloth
That xv is like an alarm clock - for the whole neightbourhood!


So far I have come up with


1: RAC membership card
2: Mobile phone


2 x small adjustable spanners
Small Socket set - the type that uses a screwdriver
Allen keys
Pliers/Cutters
Zip ties
Duck Tape
What?

Paddock Stand
Link Splitter
Compressor
Extension Lead
Air Tools
Angle Grinder
Petrol Can
FFS.
Cant - its only a ZZR600, you need a BMW to carry the lathe around -
It's got a fag lighter socket on it to run it.
Sheesh - that's why you carry the extension lead, you mong.


CNC lathe - then you cna just make any part that breaks.

Credit Card
AA membership (or whoever floats your boat)
Mobile Phone
You're living in the 20th century

3D printer ...

Insulating tape
Screwdriver driver bits
One of those plug & glue pucture kit
Superglue.
Spare bulbs
Length of plastic tube (if i need to syphon petrol)

Aonyone else think of anythin I have missed off (like AA membership?)
Most people don't have that many tools in their garage, never mind on
their bike. Just carry a puncture repair kit & breakdown cover (& a
I have a Landrover for long trips.
I have a Mescaline lab.
Why am I afraid to lookup "mescaline" on web-search
Not if it's an indicator lens or seat cover - best take a vacuum
forming machine & Singer to be on the safe side. Oh, & a rubber tree in
case you need to make a new tyre.

spare plug/spanner if it's a 2-smoke).
Dont know if i agree with that, i have waited for the AA to turn up as
I had a pucture, then when they turned up been told
they only carry tubleless repair kits and then had to wait for
another flatbed to turn up to load the bike onto.
Okay then: Spare Wheel.
That raised a chortle!
Its funny until the bird from green fag breakdown starts treating you
like an imbecile for not having a spare wheel.

So you haven't got a spare wheel.

Well errr. No. Don't really have room for one.

Don't you think you should get one?

Err.. No. Can you get some one out to me now because I'm in the middle
of two motorways.

I'll see what I can do but you really should carry a spare.

Love what does it say on the type of vehicle bit of the form you're
looking at with all of my details on it.

Kawasaki!

Yes! Its a motorbike.
heh. That made me smile :)

As did "Green Fag".


This was on a 125 that I could have put in a black cab and got home!

[1] Seriously, when I moved house I took off the mirrors, loosened off
the handle bars and took of the side covers and put
the bike into the back of a citroen AX as by this time I had a full
license and another bike.

3 hours wasted when I could have fixed the puncture by the road in a
fraction of that time.
