There where four of us together. Front rider decided to make an unplanned stop off a 4 lane divided highway.

The last bike was my son's 10 girlfriend at the time. She misses the turn and pulled off about 200 feet up the road.

I am standing out at road watching her and within 5 minutes, there were 4 total strangers on bikes off to the side with her.
If you have a modern FI TC or later that is maintained, I doubt you are going to need any tools.
Too funny and too true.

I keep an 10 inch adjustable wrench, small vise grip (covers plier, wire cutter and other uses), multi-bit screw driver, zip ties, electrical tape, about 3 feet of mechanics wire and Harley's folding tool. This is enough to handle any minor repair I may need to get to a dealer for a more permeant repair. I also carry a CAA/AAA card, which is good for the US and Canada, for any repair requiring more than this.

Looks handy ... I took an old Bic pen and cut it too the width of the duct Tape then wrapped it with a few feet of duct tape .... Saved a bunch of room ... Just an idea :>)
