So what I've learned is that a lot of you guys will be in deep schitt if someone steals your bike while you are out.

I can't imagine leaving a firearm behind on a bike. Ok, I wouldn't even carry one (I've got anger issues). [sm=violent053.gif]

For just every day riding locally: Owner's manual, a couple maps of the local area, So Cal and Arizona. A rag, small LED flashlite, the H-D multi-tip screwdriver and a couple other tools. A couple bungee cords, a handful of zip-ties, extra pair of gloves and a ball cap.

Now if rain is possible I'll throw my H-D rainsuit in there of course.
