[MDairheads] The almost ultimate minimalist Airhead toolkit ?

[Mike Cecchini]

My /6 original tool kit lives with the bike. It's all I've needed to do just 
about anything I want to do on the road.

What I take extra lives in the right pannier. Cables, bulbs, fuses, small VOM, 
tubless tire musroom plug kit, air compressor. In 30 yrs I've not needed any of 
it.

To me the best tool kit is a bike that's as well prepared to hit the road as 
possible.  I'd rather spend 100 hrs in my own shop/garage where I have 
everything I need to make life easy with cold brew in the fridge, 40 yrs of my 
music on iPod........than 1 hr on the side of the road.

My mentality is to take what repairs I am capable of and would do on the side of 
the road......or motel parking lot.  Anything more than this I'll usually leave 
it and come back with my trailer or rent a U-Haul truck to get it home.  This 
has never happened in 38 yrs.

The best tool kit?  Being proactive at home.
