Motorcycle Everyday Carry EDC

[@dadwithabike]

Alright .... so what is in your kit, what do you carry everyday and why do you carry it?

[@TomBMotoV]

A mini maglite led! Fixing a tire in the dark is not Nice! Maglite fits in my mouth so i have both hand free! And i ride a naked bike, so no space for headlamps

[@hootertexas9711]

G43 no extra mag

[@ZildjianMan30]

Right now, nothing on my bike (2022 Chief). Waiting on more aftermarket options. Just the usual stuff on my person: Glock, extra mag, knife, phone, small flashlight. And yes, an entire ball of 550 cord if I have my backpack.

[@dadwithabike]

@@ZildjianMan30 You can fix anything with 550 - hah

[@ZildjianMan30]

@dadwithabike Absolutely! My kids love it when I fix or modify something of theirs with 550 cord.

[@jeffdumais5467]

As I'm working outdoors today in -21 Celsius (-6 Fahrenheit) I chuckle at your cold.... I'd be riding that bike with a smile on my face... 😀

[@dadwithabike]

Hahah - that fine sir is beyond a "awe hell no" temperature of cold. You are a mightier man than I!

[@hootertexas9711]

I’d say you ride your scout harder and further than the average scout owner. This is a great video for scout owners. I don’t have any bags on mine. This def gets me thinking about options. The TBR comp-s does make saddle bags a no go. You’ve come up with great solutions

[@dadwithabike]

Right on - you can get ends cuoio bags but they get really hot from the exhaust.

[@hootertexas9711]

@@dadwithabike I’ve contemplated getting bags and glueing those silicone pot holders onto them. You can find pretty big sheets on Amazon

[@Valorcycle]

Sucks when the weather gets in the way of a good ride. I keep some essentials in my saddlebags, water, snack bar, charging cable, spare phone charger battery, and a motorcycle/car battery jumper. I used to have a rollup toolkit that fell off some time ago..

[@dadwithabike]

I need to find a small jump pack that fits in my tour bag...

[@Valorcycle]

@@dadwithabike check out Noco. Small but powerful.

[@dadwithabike]

@@Valorcycle absolutely - thanks!

[@ZildjianMan30]

What about toilet paper? Seriously, I have these semi-wet wipe things that are in a compact-sized sealed bag. Great stuff.

[@tobylopez445]

I have basically all the things that you showed in this video and I also have a CCW license! So, yeah! We roll the same road. Ride Safe and enjoy every day as if it were your last! I am a Vietnam Era Veteran and I am now retired after working for 45 years in Orthopedics , I rode Harleys for many years but their weight got the best of me. So I sold my Dynafxdc09 superglide custom and bought myself a 2021 Indian scout 60 and I am in Heaven with this Bike, it is just what the Doctor ordered! Low, light and fast. So at 74yrs old, I am still riding! Mind you, that I have a daily exercise routine that I have been doing for many years, and this helps me stay fit for riding. So! Many blessings to you and your family and may you be blessed with many years of riding as I!💪🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@dadwithabike]

Wow - that's awesome to hear that your able to find a way to stay on twos....nicely done, nicely done. Stay safe brother!

[@rodolfosabater7781]

I carry almost the same stuff with me (tire repair kit, portable air compressor, raingear, firearm, pepper spray) Plus since im a doctor I also carry a basic first aid kit to treat road rash..

[@dadwithabike]

Yeah on longer trips I have a trauma kit. Super great to have

[@rodolfosabater7781]

@@dadwithabike -thanks for the video Dad.. 📹

[@ZildjianMan30]

Is that an air hand pump? What brand do you have and is it reliable, or kinda junky?

[@dadwithabike]

@@ZildjianMan30 No, I don't have a hand pump - I use the CO2 cartridges.

[@ZildjianMan30]

@@dadwithabike Whoops that was a question for Rodolfo

[@johnleewright345]

I know it sounds funny, but a small spray bottle of glasses cleaner and a rag. Ever get that 2 inch long grasshopper hit you square in the visor at 70mph? All the green goo!!

[@dadwithabike]

I usually have a rag but the small cleaner is a great idea

[@anarchy8522]

Harbor freight dual head extendable ratchet. Any tool that has multiple purposes worth a try for me.

[@dadwithabike]

Oooohh good idea!

[@KTMrider696]

Could you please post a link for the tool roll?

[@buymustang]

Great to separate stuffs with body and with bike. Also thanks for the subtitle

[@dadwithabike]

Thanks and absolutely!

[@jd9308]

Don't really have a kit. I always have a multiple tool pocket knife and my case xx on my belt. I have a backpack with emerg. supplies that I wear on certain rides. Looks like you have a well thought out, all purpose roadside kit as well. Great video! Ride and stay safe down there in Tx.!

[@dadwithabike]

Thank you. If I go too far from the house I'll throw an emergency kit in

[@_Mailman]

That's a solid kit of "never get stuck on the side of the road". Can tell you travel ALOT lol.

[@dadwithabike]

Haha - yeah, luckily I've used it to help more people than to help myself so ... knock on wood

[@t.walker3101]

columbia river knife was sweet

[@dadwithabike]

Thanks - it's actually one of my favorite knives...keeps an edge easily

[@alejandroolmeda3759]

Dad, what size sissy bar bag do you have. I believe they are two sizes.

[@dadwithabike]

This is an 18"

[@HardcityRaindrops]

Thought I was the only one doing edc bike vids guess not lol, btw I ride out to the falls all the time, unless your not talking about the one in ATX

[@Mafresita]

How do you prevent ypur glasses from fogging? Do you recommend using contacts?

[@dadwithabike]

I normally wear contacts. But if I wear sunglasses I keep the visor slightly cracked

[@baldbearedbobber6841]

Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻

[@dadwithabike]

No problem 😊

[@keeplivingmotovlog]

Great tips. I just started motovlogging,

Welcome aboard!

[@19MAD95]

Why the fuses? You should through in a trauma kit in that bigger bag. Always smart to have one and it’s cheap.

[@dadwithabike]

Fuses ... because I've actually had my headlight fuse blow once and then I've helped a few others that have blown fuses. Usually someone blows something after a hard ride through rain. I do have an emergency trauma kit that I bring when I travel.

[@youknowit158]

Hmm I feel like that burly bag normally has something cooler in it.... Update, you are now on your personal EDC, so nvm 😆

[@dadwithabike]

Hahaha, yeah the cool stuff stays on my person

[@EdLrandom]

I would ask what if you crash with your gun on you, but I guess I crashed with my knife on me many times and it wasn't a big deal.

[@mikeborrello2336]

Consider credit card knife for your wallet

[@dadwithabike]

Good idea!
