Ya know Ian, you keep mentioning the chain breaker, however I don't recall anybody's chain failing 'em around here on their BA/SM. Seems to me these new stout O and X-ring babies are just that..."stout".
I mean, yeah, I suppose it's anyways a good idea to be prepared and all, especially if we're talkin' about an older bike like your Triumph Chopper(or say any older bike with a kickstarter and breaker-points  ), but like I said, I haven't heard of anybody around here having their chain fail on these newer babies....a whole lot o' chain GUARDS maybe, but no chains.
(...though maybe you have, eh?!)
Your thinking is narrow on this one, surprised at that. If I have a chain breaker with me at all times then even if the guy with me loses a chain I have the tools to fix it instead of a ruined ride. My own chain did fail once but as you stated it was on my chopper. Having that breaker with me saved the day. It may not happen often but when it does happen that one time it is great to be prepared.
Why, you old Boy Scout, you!
(...good answer!) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
