A pair of shoes!
I carry most of the tools I need, but I tend to drive bare foot.
As I said to Chris yesterday, at least he broke down close to a city & in convoy.
When I break down it is always between nowhere & the black stump, with no mobile coverage.
Hitch-hiking is out, ordinary citizens wont pick up someone that looks like me, so I have done a bit of walking to civilisation & a phone over the
years.
I once had to walk from Draytons Junction to Muswellbrook in pair of thongs in summer.
Lee will know where that is. 15-20 kms, something like that.
I keep a pair of beat up joggers under my seat.............
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

I doubt if I could walk that far in the winter.... but in the HOT summer....!!! Never.... too Hot & too old!!.... and too far
to keep weight down, I always only carry the spanners needed such as 10mm 13mm 17mm, VW spark plug-wheel bolt-anternator nut tool, flat & phillips
screw drivers, large shifting spanner & Pliers.

U dont need any tools just a box of beer n a Esky full of Ice....
Now all U mechanices out there should be doing your regular maintanence thing and you wouldnt need to carry tools like me.
I recon the one between yr legs is very useful...
Hey Lee try buying the proper tool for the brake hoses its a plastic thinginging that has a built in clamps they work great n dont cut into you
rubber lines luine the vice grips.
now where did i hide that bong... OH dear
