mini tool/emergency kits ?

So been looking at trying to mount some sort of mini emergency / tool kit on the little sym scooter.
often we can come across an emercency, be it a broken down fellow rider, a downed rider or even a member of the public in distress. and having some kind of kit you can just pull out is very handy.

my idea was to pop a couple of pot rivets holding some velcro strapping to the underside of my seat, this way a tin of likes is not going to be rattling around in my seat bucket. i also thought two tins would be good, one for spares like a spark plug some bulbs a reel of tape a short run of sillicon pipe and some zipties. the second box would hold some plasters - tape - bandages and the likes with a small set of sissors.

i came across a small mini mess tin and thought that could be an ideal thing to store these things in, but im not sure if there are already made kits like this for us bikers ? and if bikers carry these things about ?

any ideas ?

 

up until now ive always just carried my RAC membership card
now I carry two screwdrivers a couple of sockets and a wrench a spark plug socket for my bike a spark plug a few cable ties and some electrical tape + keep £5 on me at all times just incase i run out of petrol which may have happened a few times

 

I bought a natty little multi tool type of thing.
Basically it's a reversible screwdriver handle with a 6mm allen key fitting and multiple fittings.
It's got all the screwdriver bits, socket fittings from 3mm to 10mm, allen key bits, torx fittings and those security torx bits with the hole in the middle.
That goes in the top box along with 8/10/12/13/14mm spanners, plug spanner, 3/8 flexi ratchet.
And a roll of insulation tape.
Anything else, it's the AA 's turn with a recovery truck.

 

what about first aid kits guys would you say they a worth while thing to carry to ?
in the event you come across a fallen rider / car accident ? your at least able to offer basic first aid until the relevent folks arrive.

if you come off and need some first aid you could direct them to the bike and the aid kit onboard atleast you know you have things to treat wounds etc etc, or be it other that need treating

 

It's a dangerous thing to administer first aid if you don't know what you're doing.
Especially in the event of an accident.
The way this country is and it's sue anybody who even speaks to me wrong mentality, you can end up getting creamed by some smart arsed lawyer who says that without your interferance my client would still be walking.
OK, may be an exageration, but you get the drift.
If you want to gain some knowledge of first aid for such emergencies that we as riders are more than likely to come across sooner or later, then put yourselves on a course please.

 

thanks steve i will leave that kit out of my bucket list then

i got a sort of tool kit its a spark plug extractor with a hole in so you can fit the phillips/flat head screwdriver spline in , kinda freaking useless to lol. trying to find a little bmw / yam / honda tool kit from a bike i could throw in

 

Make your own up, it'll be better.
The bike tool kits are useless to be honest.
Cheap materials.
It's one of the first things I throw out.

Think about what tools you use on the scooter.
Screwdrivers - phillips and flat
Spanners - 8/10/12/13/14mm, maybe a 17mm (engine mounts)
Plug socket and 3/8 ratchet drive
Small wire brush to clean the plug.
Selective sockets and extension bar
8/10/12/13/14/mm sockets
Small adjustable spanner
Cloth to wipe your hands

You can buy a tool roll that is empty and fill it with the tools that are needed for your bike.
All the tools, nicely rolled up and in the seat bucket

 

will do that it seems a lot better option , on the cloth side i was going to grab a box of those rubber workshop gloves, just throw a couple them in a lillte zip baggy

 

And I wouldn't say leave the first aid kit out as such, it's always useful to you if you cut yourself when working on your own bike out in the field.
Unless you're planning to sue you that is.
But a basic first aid course is a good thing to go on, at the least it's another feather in your cap.
I did 6 years service as the field medic in our unit.
3 tours of Ireland
I had to put my finger in mates artery in his leg to stop him bleeding out while I had someone else tie it off.
He lost his leg but he lived.
Without that knowledge he would have died before we got him back.

In the event that you do ever come across a serious accident and you do have to administer first aid of any description, your only safety from any form of adverse action against you, is the knowledge you've gained and that certificate that says you are a qualified first aider.

 

First aid wise West Midlands Fire Service run biker down courses for free run by firemen who are also bikers it might be worth checking to see if your local fire service runs a similar scheme as stevep said its worth doing the proper first aid courses
I carry a first aid kit but wont use it on anyone but me normally usually the best thing to use at the scene of an crash is your voice to calm and reassure the patient only ever interven if its life threatening or have reason to suspect there may be spinal injuries in which case keep them as still as possible and try to keep them calm

 

My first aid kit consists of -
eye wash
distilled water
paracetemol
germoline cream
insect bite spray
some masking tape
alcohol free cleansing wipes
scissors
a pair of disposable gloves
safety pins
gauge dressings
three rolls of bandage
and a load of plasters in different sizes
