This idea came up in another forum, after this weekend I think it's worth repeating. Stash some cash under your seat. Lot's of folks mentioned this in the "whats under your seat" thread I had never thought of it.
20 miles from home I hit reserve, I went another 10 to my destination and on the way back pulled up to a pump. This bike is new to me so I've no idea how big reserve is. I've been stranded once thinking it would be "enough". So I pull out my wallet, no credit card, it's on my dresser at home, dig around, no bills, thats right with the card. Empty pockets.. Ooops, so just as I'm thinking of who to call I remember! I've got cash under the seat. $2 of gas and I'm home. I'm pretty anal about my ID, credit cards etc.. but we all get caught short..
Other items:
Insurance Car and bike even though they are both in my wallet (see above)
Color copy of drivers Lic.
Registration
I put them all in a zip lock baggie and found a tiny
plastic box that fits in the tail just right.
