Default What's in Your Tour-pack and Trunk?

This was mentioned recently so I thought I would start a thread.
Here are mine, both stowed, and showing contents.
My tour-pack doesn't have a lot going on, but has basic needs such as sunblock, eye drops, lens cleaners, nail clippers, and, of course, insurance and registration info. (Also a Ruger revolver)
The trunk has a roadside bag with tire inflator, patch kit, jump starter, tool roll, towels, and flashlight.




Let's see what you carry, y'all.

If someone approaches you while you are rooting around in your tour pack, that is much quicker/easier to deploy than the one on your hip or in you waist pack.

If someone approached me (unaware) while I’m rooting around in my TourPack, my Situational Awareness needs a reboot.

Different subject, for a different area of the forum.

I keep the usual stuff in my tour pack (air gauge, extra FOB batteries, sunglasses. doo-rags and microfiber towel but more importantly my riding jacket(s) and some extra space for any items I may have to pick up on my way home.
My trunk is reserved for my small bag of tools, mini-compressor and my rain gear.

My "hardware" remains with me at all times unless I have to go somewhere I can't carry it and on those rare occasions it either stays at home or locked (unloaded) in the locked tour pack.

Just talked with a buddy who has one of these contraptions, he went Ouray, and stopped to check out a theory he had, had other buddy who weighs around 190, hop on they went a 1/4 mile round trip and the handling was leaps and bounds, so he stopped and got a couple of 50lb bags of play sand…what’s in his now. The handling is about right now he says. I told him to maybe get a big woman, like Rosie…lol.
