I'm "procreating" well ready for anything!

In my saddlebags I carry
earplugs, rainsuit, wiping rag, and bike cover for when I take the bike to work
The toolkit (which is practically useless) is carried in the side cover on the left side of the bike.
From what I've seen other people posting, I think I'll make some additions to the contents of my saddlebags, such as tire gauge. perhaps some useable tools and a flashlight.

Thats one heck of a storage space!

As with others who've replied, my saddlebags only go on for for longer trips and are packed accordingly. Whats stays in them, even while they're off the bike and regardless of the trip are local and state maps, mini tool kit (not that its very useful in my hands) rains suit and a small general use towel.

On the small bag attached to my forks..spare pair of riding glasses and my other pair of gloves...

Right now?

In one side, a Haynes Manual (hardback), an unimstalled headted grips kits, one quart of oil.

On the other side,

the liner for my jacket, an extra sweatshirt, winter gloves, a camera, the contents of the toolkit tht i was too lazy to put back in the kit, a small case of cotter pins (ask Zootech why I always carry these now), my old bar ends that never fit, an old left side mirror, the title and some paperwork that needs to be put somewhere else, an old banana.

Yes, I need to do some organizing. I have trouble whenever Im around the bike i want to be on it instead of organizing it.
