One would presume to take pictures if ever involved in an accident.

Did'nt we have this topic last year? My boot is full of stuff some of which is useful in an emergency (jump leads, warning triangle, WD40, spanners, screwdrivers, jubillee clips, brake fluid, rad sealer etc) my torch bulb has blown so I will get one tomorrow (thanks for the reminder!) I have a packet of band-aid, not sure if that would be much good in a crash

Head Torch
Tyre plugs +2 Co2 canisters for puncture repair
Pressure gauge
OEM Bike toolkit + extra allen keys and a few small spanners
Cable ties
epoxy resin kit
rain gear + high vis vest thingy
sometimes a can of wd40

generally in bag too, even before i had the motorbike:
clean dry socks+jocks
Digital camera,
512Mb usb key,
Cd folder with essential disks, winxp/win2k/hirens/anti spyware suite
Aspirin, gaviscon, 5htp, iodine

I must get some bandages to throw in there too, as cold clumsy hands trying to effect repairs on dark rainy nights usually end up with scraped knuckles or misc. annoying cuts
