My number plate,it sticks on with velcro but is more off than on,and its very small,so if I see the cops I just quickly stick it back on.Also never without a tyre repaire kit,cell phone,tablets for heartburn and headache,bike toolkit and antihistamin tablets for bee stings.Also I can absolutly not leave without earplugs inserted

Digital camera so I can take a picture if one of you guys with the condoms accidentally meets a girl.

Just kidding, good luck.

Bee sting kit (epinephrine). Anaphlaxis (extreme allergic reaction (slow death) shock really sucks. They (doctors) tell me I shouldn't ride because increased risk of getting stung. That in my book is not ans option! I also bring antihistamines and try to keep track off were the closest hospital is.

I always bring a handheld GPS, either in my pocket or mounted on the bike. I can't even count the times I've ridden and ridden and then forgot where I was and couldn't find my way home. I'm terrible with directions and knowing where I am.

from now on i always take a buddy.

cell phones are good and all, but what if you end up imobile from a crash. it would suck to want to reach for your cell and realize your arms don't work as you start to grow colder and colder in a ditch.

i went on a ride by myself once through the badlands of Montana that i think haven't even been explored since Lewis & Clark. i kept thinking to myself the whole time that if i went down in a ditch here, noone would find me for weeks if not months on end. since then, if i don't have a riding buddy i won't ride.

my usual riding buddy and i both carry kimber 1911s

It's probably wise these days to pack heat. You just never know!

Haha yeah, good point.

Alot of times I don't ride down just one street or take a clearly defined route. I like to take all the country back roads. Depending on how the roads look, I'll zigzag around until the point of too many zags to remember.
