Hd multi tool that came with the bike. Specialty tool for the brukus saddle bag secures. Light rain suit. Bungee cords. And depending on the season some thin leather gloves and heavy leather gloves. And possibly a sweatshirt. Pretty much all i need. Credit card and my extended warranty will cover the rest.

Sunscreen and chapstick, miscellaneous tools, ball cap, two sets of gloves, quick detailer and microfiber, owners manual, and shock pump are what stay in there permanently. Everything else I put in depending on where I'm riding to.

Shock pump, tire plug kit, pressure gauge, insurance card, registration, ball cap, extra pair of goggles, a rag or two. Those are the permanent things in the bags.

Weather dependent additions are leathers, rain gear, sun screen, and a bottle or two of water.

I understand the KY and rubber gloves, but where's the flashlight?

I keep all my tools, rain gear, and stuff that stays on my bike, in the right side saddlebag, the one that I am less likely to use. Everything I load/pack/carry for the day trip or whatever I might be doing for the day goes in my left side saddlebag. The side I mount and dismount on most frequently. It works well for me and I always like to know where everything is at a moments notice.... especially my rain gear.

Looks pretty complete.

We put bottles of water in the Freezer. And some in the fridge.
They last a surprising amount of time. If they still have ice in them, pour some of the fridge water in them and you can drink cold water almost all day.

And when you have STOPPED for the day, you can pour some JD in for a nice refreshing Jack & water on the rocks. just sayin' .....that's what I have heard anyways.....
