Some clean cotton rags in a ziplock bag, a razor knife, roll of electrical tape, small led flashlight, distilled water, CPR mask, and nitrile gloves. Multi use, and most anything else would be superfluous.

All good tips mentioned here for sure. I'm going on a couple long trips this riding season, including cross country, so I've started a kit recommended by the Red Cross found here http://www.redcross.org/prepare/loca...et-kit/anatomy to begin with. I'll modify for my specific use and needs.

i only saw it in one list but i second the quick clot dressings. for arterial bleeding it is the only thing that might make a difference, i think it's called quick silver. along with the other usual stuff.

Since you are "that kind of guy" (your words, not mine), what do you have on your person that would tell the EMT's your blood type, what meds you are allergic to, who should they call in case of emergency, how old you are, what you weigh, what medications you are currently on, which hospital you prefer, etc...same for your passenger...?
Thanks!

We are lucky enought to have this local in our area, but they teach classes world wide. All of our road captains are required to take these classes:
