Rank	What	Why
Bike
1	Scotts Steering Damper	It has saved me from crashing at speed countless times. The biggest was when I was torpedoed by a kangaroo in Oz . If I could only have one toy I'd junk everything else and keep this..
2	Fruity Exhaust	People hear me coming and hardly ever try and cross the road in front of me without looking. This is not the case with quiet exhausts.
3	HID Lights	I never intend to ride at night but if I do I feel much safer with these. I have two for when one stops working. (I am on my fourth and fifth units).
4	Horns	Air horn and electric horn for recalcitrant vehicles and pedestrians. I have two for when one stops working.
Health
1	Ear Plugs	Custom made with wind noise filters to protect my ears from tinnitus which I got after my second trip when using a motorcross helmet.
Toys
1	Garmin GPS V	- Knowing I'm heading in the right direction and possibly on the right road. - Navigating in and out of cities and finding my hotel again, especially in the dark.
2	Touratech IMO	Hours of amusement from the ten screens. - Distance countdown - will it be dark before I get there? - Km/litre on every tank.
3	Spa Design Temp Gauge	Outside Air Temp - Is it really that hot/cold? Water Temp - To make sure the fans are working when it gets hot.
Softies
1	Sheepskin seat	Delays numb bum from 1 to 2.5 hours.
2	Heated Grips	Keeps pinkies warm.
Security
1	Lockable Top Box	Keeps laptop, cameras and shopping safe.
2	3 Metre Steel Cable	Secures spare tyres to Fred or Fred to something else.
Safety
1	Motocross Boots	Have saved my ankles and lower legs from getting squashed many times when I fall off.
2	Deer/Roo Alerts	Two dog whistle type things that emit inaudible frequencies to stop animals crossing the road in front of me.
Stuff
1	Cell Phone	For ordering spare parts, txting friends. I buy a new SIM card whenever I need to use it.
2	Old Rim Tapes	For tying things on to Fred. They never go loose.
3	Solar Calculator	For quick exchange rate deals.
