I carry my mobile (cell) and a credit card. No wrist watch as my mobile has a clock in it.

This may sound pretty stupid, but the seat comes up? Like the old Hondas? I will have to go home and look but I didn't think it did. . . Yeah, New Bonnies don't really need a road kit- now my Royal Enfield, I tow behind a toolbox and an arc welder to keep it together!

Among other things listed phone etc- I carry a card w/ the Ph# of a very reliable tow company. (Specially for bikes) Got ins coverage for it now, after a $100+ flat incident. Ins covers tow & 1st hr ofl abor. Flat wouldaa cost $14 instead!
Line & learn.

Does Triumph do fanny packs, or will I have to go to HD to get one in leather with a fringe?
