What tools do you carry?

Wondering what tools you carry, if any, and any tips on why you carry them. Thanks.

I carry way more than I probably will ever need. That comes from riding bikes at one time that were less than reliable.  ;)

I carry an allen wrench and torx head set along with Leatherman Supertool and my handy dandy pliers.

Looks like you don't have room on that thing to carry any tools.

I carry the standard issue HOG toolset.

Great idea of the trailer list; didn't know it existed but will copy and carry as a last resort :2vrolijk_21: Still also a good idea to carry a few tools as ya might actually fix the thing and save one of the great trailer folks a bunch of time; especially if they are busy at work or with family, etc, etc.  :2vrolijk_21:

Admiral I was going to carry them in my pocket ::). Thanks for the reply's. I hope I never need to use any. I'm new to riding bikes, well owning. My starter relay was clicking and I had to get the allen wrenches out for the side panel, this was at home, that got me thinking what tools I should carry. Thanks for the info all.

A spare key/fob (that's accessable....not locked in bag) and fuses.....where to stop.....like Puzzled said, history of older scooters makes you lug around more tools than you need/use.  :)  har!  :drink: spyder
