A Zebralight might lure you over to the bright side. The ladies might find them cute. Or an Ultrafire H2.
I carry the H6, for times when I want to strap a lithium ion 18650 battery to my own forehead.and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"

Without packing a genuine vice-grip, you are doomed! Get a 5 inch size, this can do a variety of gripping tasks including acting as gear lever or hand lever after that wipeout. Please no Chinese versions!1981 gs650L

Sorry, Irwin Vice-Grips have been made in China out of the softest Chinesium for several years now, and they're complete junk compared to the old US-made ones. If you can't find an old US-made pair, "Grip-On" is making some pretty decent locking pliers in Spain.
Or, to look at it another way, a crappy Chinese pair of locking pliers is probably fine for your road tools, but at least get them cheap -- don't pay Irwin's prices.
One thing I would add to the list is a small assortment of metric bolts and nuts. I've saved the day many a time with a spare 6mm or 8mm bolt.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.

I like the OEM tool kit, plus a 1/4" drive ratchet and a bunch of sockets and extensions. Allen wrench multi tool, plus an american allen wrench for the Samsonite. Cheap multi meter. A roll of wire and some connectors. very important is tie wire and some pliers. A few extra bungees.
A piece of PVC pipe with caps is a good tool box for me.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things

Been pretty lucky in that department and nothing I was not able to handle with what I had on hand.
Live in a very rural area and prefer my riding where the less people on the road the better.
The less chance to inconvenience a friend with a truck ride or pay for a flatbed tow when close or far from home, the better.
Ideas that get me back running if/when something does fail with little hassle because I am prepared?
