Huh! They come with a tool pack. He must not have read the owners manual and/or was not given a good delivery orientation.

I carry a Cruz tool kit, tire plug kit and a 12V air comprressor.

Have used the tools many times - but not on my bike.

Maybe if I keep helping others, mine won't break down.

Ya must leave early for work. I actually haven't come accross one on the way to work but, I stopped one weekend for a crotch rocket that broke down, and let's just say, I won't again. I'll still stop for a cruiser of any kind, they seem to know what manners are. I know, that's just one experience and I shouldn't think that way but, when I give a kid 5 bucks for gas I expect a thank you.

Yeah, sure! You make it sound like Harley scoots don't have any problems and don't break down.

I wouldn't say never. In 19 years of street riding and always carrying tools, I've used them on my Harleys twice, both on my old 88 FXRS. Once for a failed stator, had my local indy bring me a battery so I could limp it to the shop (talk about service). The second time was to strip a wire and make a temporary connection because the only connector that I didn't change out when re-wiring my bike failed (Murphy's Law strikes again!).

Now, I used them many times in assistance to other riders, but those are the only time I've used them on my own.
