What tools do you carry?

[mexican]

We had AAA for over 20 years; which included 200 miles of towing... but move after move around the country it became more and more painful to keep my current policy. Fortunately, I found AMA (American Motorcycle Association) and though it's only 35 miles, it saved me (in my classic car) without issue.

Great to know!!

I have the Triumph on board tool kit. Ha ... Ha...Ha. A tire puncture kit with 4 canisters of "air" and a can of fix a flat. The most important tool I carry is my Triple A card.

I’ve managed to fit my tyre puncture repair stuff into the mobile phone charging box (tight... but everything fit) ...and yeah, roadside assistance has been my friend in the past.

Only this and some large wire ties.

This is a great question @stollydriver. I've asked it before and got similar responses. Unless you just ride near home, I think being as self-sufficient as possible makes sense.
I'd rather work on the bike than wait for the two hours it will take for a guy driving a wrecker who's never put a bike this size onto his rig, and probably isn't going to be too careful about it when he does. Then off to a mystery mechanic somewhere I know nothing about. This goes with me everywhere I go. There's a big place for almost all of it under the seat (older bikes, at least). Why not? What do other people use that space for?

What are those L-brackets on top of the red rag?

I carry a tire plug kit, fix-a-flat and a foot operated pump. I once hit a nail, had it rip out immediately (on the fender) and I was flat in under 100 yards.

On my person I always have a leatherman. I should probably carry a few more things but I do not.

Those are for lifting the bike with an ATV or scissor jack.

Even if I have to take it to a mechanic, unless it's a Triumph dealership, and they need to lift the bike, they're going to do it wrong (putting all the weight on the sump). I'll put these on and give them a lesson on how to raise the bike.

Or, if I'm lucky, and I can do the repair mystelf, I'll end up where there is a jack I can borrow.

Not sure how it's done on the newer bikes.
