Roll of toilet paper in a plastic bag, big enough for…emergencies…
chest-wound bandage. Never needed it yet… 2 25’x1" double-thick nylon climbing webbing. Pulled a friend’s bike out of a DEEP ravine with those… Bungie net (customizing it now so those stupid metal hooks stop clawing up my pillion handles; tall enough extension-lines to carry a paper towels pack home from Costco. No, really. More than once.)… 2 cable locks: cheesy one for helmet, bike-sized one to thread through my riding suit. In case my cases are full… Tools. Not having a Torx cost me $600 in towing. (BMW: carry them, micro-to-elephant)… Tools… Spare body panel screws… Spare helmet shield (I saw one fly off a guy in front of me on a group ride once.)… Prescription** athletic safety glasses** (in case of above happening TWICE)… Paracord, (see bungie net) but I’m upgrading that to Dyneema (be careful, that stuff CUTS. Hands, plastic, etc.)… Disposable gloves (for rain, or if I ever need that chest-wound bandage)… Voltmeter… Flashlights. More than 2. Even in broad daylight,… USB Battery pack (if not carrying @FonderThud’s jump-box)… Cooling vest and scarf (I wear 1-piece suits. Debridement scares me)… Conspicuity vest, flag, even a fluorescent microfober rags…
