Are you subtly implying that I'm naive enough to think I can actually CHANGE a woman?

My matronly old GS doesn't care if I test ride OTHER motorcycles regularly just for an adrenalin rush.
Also, it's appearance and performance has IMPROVED since we first met; It looks better to me than it did the day I first 'uncrated' it and it never tried to change anything about me.
It's electrical system doesn't go wacko on a monthly basis.
If I ever do decide to trade it in for a newer model, it won't take half my stuff.

Luckily Ive never had to use one on anybody
i carry gaffers tape not duct tape. I hate duct tape but that stuff I'm told works wonders in an emergency...

In my experience which is a bunch I've only had to drag out the tool kit a handful of times when away from home & then only for minor foul ups and most of those times it was for someone else's bike & that wasn't usually an airhead.
I've been lucky, I put most of my airhead miles on while cutting my teeth learning about motorcycles, riding and Airheads. I was flying ignorant:o) If i'd known more I'da prolly never left the house back in those carefree days...

I've suggested to people in the past to learn the tool kit by using it to service their airhead with it at home.
I've changed a tire with the stock tire tools...at home. It wasn't easy but it can be done. I'd like to see somebody do that with a tubeless tire...
One of the only tool kits I've ever seen better than the BMW one was in a Condor military motorcycle.

My question is:
What tools in addition to the stock tool kit would you not leave home without?
I've seen some serious overkill when it comes to hauling spares and tools so the criteria should be what tools would you add to your kit that would still fit under the seat?
