Default What tool kit for emergency?

Looking to see what everyone is carry while on a bike trip for emergency. I looked at Harley's tool kit and Cruz's tool kit. I have also looked at Windzone's tool kit. It seem you get a lot of tools for the price, but not sure of the quality.

Depends on the bike you have , an older evo or shovel by all means carry a real tool kit. Ride a twinkie just keep the cell phone and your AAA card handy, not much you can do to one on the road anyway.

I have a Cruz tool kit that I bought years ago. It has. Good selection of tools but I wouldn't say the quality is anywhere near Snap-On, or Craftsman. They tools are fine for what they would probably be used for...emergency repairs on the road to get you to a mechanic.

I've got the cheaper HD tool kit - http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/tool-kit. It is fine for what it is. I have used it a couple of times when I was too lazy to walk to the shed to get a "real" tool.

If I break down on the road I got a cell phone, my HOG card and my AMA card.

Today's bikes are much more dependable than before. But I still carry an assortment. There have been many threads on this. Do a search and see what we have said. Much good history here!!
