DO YOU HAVE A CHEAP MOTORCYCLE TOOK KIT?
As any motorcycle owner knows, the MOTORCYCLE TOOL KIT that came with their bike is not exceptional. In fact, that’s being kind. The Motorcycle Tool Kits that come with almost every motorbike are VERY cheap. (BMW’s motorcycle tools are at least “better” than the rest).
Now, unlike the BIG tool sets you can buy for an auto enthusiast, a motorcycle tool kit, out of necessity, must be small enough to carry on a bike – otherwise it defeats the purpose of …

DON’T BUY DIGITAL TIRE GAUGES
Now, don’t get me wrong: I don’t think any motorcyclist can have too many tire gauges.

I do not like fixing motorcycle flat tires.
In fact, I don’t even bother to change my own tires anymore. (Into the shop for me).
I wasn’t always that way. After years of arduously confronting the task of changing a tire, or less commonly, fixing a flat, I had at least acquired a skill set that rose to the level of incompetence.
Fortunately for me, I haven’t had to fix a flat on the road but once.
And on that one melodramatic evening, I set the record of how …

WHAT IS THE #1 MOTORCYCLE TOOL?
Modern motorcycles are way more reliable than they used to be. In fact, you could ride for years with minimal use of tools on the road – except for this one.
OK, there’s definitely MORE than one tool you should always have stashed away somewhere on your motorbike.
WHAT TOOL SHOULD YOU ALWAYS HAVE WITH YOU ON YOUR MOTORBIKE?
But..IF…there were only ONE tool you could carry, for some crazy reason (such as your significant other wants you to go on a long trip and not come …
