What do you plug in ?

I have been pondering what sort of adapters/stuff to buy to make use of the magic socket. I first bought a bunch of Gerbing heated stuff, but wised up and returned it before use with the tought " If it's that darn cold, I probably shouldn't be riding" (I once hit a patch of ice on my old 86' Honda VFR1000R, all 600 lbs. of it nearly went double left right high side and fish tailed so violently I had a weeks worth of poo in my trousers, literally messed my shorts. ) I'm sure I need a cell phone charger, but what else is a practicle accessory to have along?

Use it to plug in your mc battery charger.

Practical accessory - hopefully I plug my mind in to gear BEFORE I start the bike.

Hmmm, now there's an opening for a joke...

Me, I plug in a battery tender at home, and the wife uses it for some hair straighteners I sourced for camping trips.... they are her one luxury!

Check out Powerlet adapter accessories if you want some ideas. They have cords, plugs, etc. for anything.

I think the muscle shock over my entire body caused by tring to correct my certain death made me squeeze one off. I didn't realize it at first, but riding home 20 miles made me fully aware.

ewww!

That must've been a most nasty experience. I'll bet you're glad you're still around to tell the story though
Personally if I had a "magic socket" I'd want to plug in a radar detector. Of course the motorcycle specific ones are designed to be hardwired (another one of the things on my wish list) other than that maybe a power inverter to run my laptop and other handy wall socket dependent electronics.
