Figured I'd mount a flashlight that I had laying around, while I was waiting for paint to dry on my battery bracket...haha

Ive since painted the flashlight satin black so it doesnt stand out so much.

I have a 3" magnetic spot light I carry that plus into my bike.

EDIT: it might be 2" now that I think of it, not sure now.

Two Words of Wisdom: Yes Dear.
Therefore, I'll carry tampoonies if asked to. Life is much simpler that way.

Carry the pads over the tampoons.Use them for knee pads in case of a break down on the side of the road.Better get the extra absorbant for extra padding.

I just keep one of those crank style flashlights in the fork tool bag. That way when I need it the batteries aren't dead.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

I have a buddy that says the same thing. But I noticed he didn't mind using the allen wrench set, leatherman and crescent wrench I had there when his scoot died along the side of the road back in May.
