Default Who carries a trauma/medical kit on their bike?

I carry an individual first aid kit in my vehicles, and now I want to put something together for the bike. For those of you have one, what's in it? I'm thinking the basics are: tourniquet, Israeli bandage, gauze, scissors, Quikclot gauze, gloves, and perhaps a towel. Thoughts?

Thought about it, being a former Paramedic Firefighter I carried a kit.
In 40 years never needed it.
And in this litigious society I'd be carful of who you tended to, they can sue you these days!

quick clot, tampons, handful of no-sticks. Most other needed stuff is on our persons, belts, boot laces, knives etc. Always electrical tape in the bikes.

Chest seal, tourniquet, clotting dust and a space blanket.

The rest can be improvised.

Ooo, the electrical tape is a good idea. As well as the space blanket.

I have a basic kit w/ the above that I have never opened except to put a $20 bill inside it.

As mentioned, with how litigious society is these days, I'm almost tempted to provide the kit rather than actually render aid if needed.

You'll get sued for providing it, sued for not helping, sued for helping..........

I carry a NAR IPOK when I am going over the road. It's attached to my backpack, which has all my bug out supplies. I also carry one on my duty belt for special details, and a TK lives next to my holster. But for local city rides, if I bleed out, I bleed out.
