What's in the Biker's Survival Kit?
Not all the time biker's can rely on motorcycle boneyards or
salvage yards. These are places where riders can get easy bike
assistance for urgent repairs like replacing motorcycle parts
like tires, sprocket, kickstand and the likes.
There are instances, when bikers are faced with infuriating
problems while in the middle of an exciting expedition. Even
little aberrations piss us off. Small discrepancies annoy us.
Thus, these occurrences must be avoided. How? - Simply, by
carrying a survival kit. So, what's inside the kit?
TOOLS
Let us start with the tools. To do this, riders must first be
acquainted of the right motorcycle parts for their bike, after
that they must be ready with their toolkit. Here are the
essential tools:
Different kinds of screwdrivers, wrenches (Allen, Torx),
adjustable sparkplugs in varying sizes, pairs of pliers
(regular, needlenose and ViseGrip) and Loc-Tite to keep
fasteners from falling or loosening are crucial to necessary and
essential hotels...
ACCESSORIES
Tools are not enough. They must be accompanied by accessories
for total enjoyment of the ride. Indispensable accessories must
be handy. To name some of these accessories, they are saddlebags
where you put other biker stuffs, first aid kit in cases of
injuries and bruises, small flashlight, small knife, cellphone,
electrical tape, duct tape, bike cover, rags, windshield
(especially during winter), water bottle and food containers
(also include food and water).
GEARS
What else can best protect a rider but motorcycle gears and
apparel. Helmet, ear plugs for those who have problems hearing
the horns and other road sounds, reflective vest to make you
highly visible to others, heated clothing (especially during
winter time and when your place is experiencing cold
temperatures) to provide warmth and to control body temperature,
electric vest and gloves, rain gear (during rainy days), boots,
tire gauge, helmet extender that slips through the helmet's ring
and attaches to your regular helmet locking device (if you do
not have the latter, might as well carry your helmet with you),
bungee cords and nets, kickstand plate and more.
Now that you are equipped with a survival kit that contains all
sorts of necessary stuffs, you can travel just anywhere to
quench your expedition thirst and never worry when some things
go wrong.
