Whenever I see this topic I think about the old Yamaha 350 days. I wouldn't leave home without a set of clean plugs, a set of points, an impact driver w/ several bits and sockets, screw drivers, plenty of tape, a quart of 2-stroke oil, a flash light, a sundry of box wrenches, feeler gauges, and stuff I can't even remember. Thank God for 4-stroke engines, electronic ignition, Triumph dependability, and last but not least - the wonderful world of digital communication, I've pared that list down to the standard SM tool kit (the allen), a knockoff Leatherman, and a cell phone.
