TECH TALK: Organizing your on-the-road tool kit

If you ride a motorcycle, you need a tool kit on it. If it’s an older bike, you need one. It doesn’t have to have everything required to rebuild a transmission. A daily carry tool kit should be focused on solving the typical roadside issues. If you are a decent mechanic, you’ll use it more on your friend’s bikes than your own and that’s OK too. If you asked 100 riders what they pack in their tool kit, you’d probably get 200 different answers, none of them wrong. This is a general collection we made by merging our personal favorites. Feel free to use this list for reference and add and delete based on your preference and experience.
