That'll cover it.

The days are long gone when I carried much in the way of tools. Back when my bikes had points and a carb, I had all kinds of crap in the tool bag. Needed most of it, more than once. With fuel injection and electronic ignition, the cell phone is my most important tool. Haven't had to use it, except for a flat tire once.

I just have a screwdriver and a set of Torx heads. Not even sure what I'll use it for but it's there...

I have the tear drop tool boxes on both sides of the bike. I have a ratchet with assorted sockets and extension. Torx bits. Open and box end wrenches, stubby style from really small to really large. They fit my spokes up to my axles. Allen wrenches of various sizes. Tape. Rag. Circuit tester. Wire. Air pressure gauge. Loctite. Feeler gauge. Screwdriver with several size bits. A bunch of other misc stuff but I'm not going to take them out to see. I've used them on the road twice in ten years. Once for my sons loose battery connection and once on a friends hiway pegs. I've used them at home several times while working on my bike but never on the road. Somebody please break down so I can help you.
