What does everyone here carry with them on their motorcycle? I'm curious what everyone actually takes with them all the time. This doesn't include safety gear (helmet, jacket, pants, etc...).

Here's my list:
hockey puck (for my sidestand on soft surfaces)
earplugs
extra tubing (could be used as a vacuum line or syphoning tube in a pinch)
wiring for my Widder electric gloves

As most of my riding is done to campus and back, I'm not far from emergency services so I don't pack a first aid kit, but I am thinking about getting a small one and keeping it in one of my Roadcrafter's pockets.

A cell phone and some chewing tobacco

-Foldable Swat Knife
-Tool Kit (one the came with the bike, plus some more).
-Spark Arrestor Silencer (for restricted trails).

And a magazine to read?

Seriously, I keep a tubeless-tire repair kit under my saddle... I've never had a moving flat, but you never know. I often ride through unpopulated areas so help can be kinda scarce.
I also keep my rainsuit pants in the storage compartment too, just in case.
In my jacket pocket I keep a soft cloth, soaked in glass-cleaner, in a ZipLoc sandwich bag. Handy for removing bug guts from faceshields.

For day to day riding to work etc. just my cell....if I'm going exploring or a run with a group then the kit expands and varies. Lots of dry socks come in handy ....LOL

Windex makes wipes. I use them on the boat. Put a packet abord your ride......

Visor cleaner, Tissues and everything contained in my handbag

My tank bag goes everywhere I go... it has a leatherman, zip ties, a spool of wire, wrenches: 8, 10, 12, neoprene gloves (for those unexpected rain storms), cargo net, balaclava (for when it gets cold), chewing gum, cell phone... and I think that's it. My wife calls it my "purse".

Factory tool kit, cell phone, earplug cary case, two checks, some cash, cargo net, extra long johns if it might get cold. Oh yeah, stuffed dog with biker jacket and hat under cargo net facing backward on back of seat to keep an eye on traffic.

I'd enjoy some pictures of said stuffed dog.
