What kind of tools do you carry in your bike tool kit when you're out riding?

Any recomendations would be most welcome.

I've got the Cruz Tools Buell Kit. Has just about all the different types of wrenches, screwdrivers, etc., for all the crazy fasteners found on the bike. PLus I ring Bubba along so he can fix it.:D

Ahhh, let's not forget about some trusty 'ol duct tape. Actually, the only tools I take for most rides are the ones that came with the XB9S and a tire guage. A tire plug kit is definately a good idea though, as I did experienc a puncture during one 1000mi. weekend last summer.

XB9R tool kit, Brag card, small notebook, pen, and a few plastic wire ties.

I do like the idea of the mini pump, tire plugs, and the Topeak tool, and of course a Mexican socket set (a.k.a. = cresent wrench).

factory tool bsg, added a small HD brand tire pressure gauge, and wedged an 8 inch adjustable wrench just forward of the battery, it seems pretty well stuck there, captive under the seat.
need to add a couple allen wrenches, and would like to find a way to pack a tire repair kit under the seat if possible, but have not figured that out yet.

I do not particularly like the back pack option, but it seems to hold the tire repair kit and any other crap I want to carry along. It also holds a 12 pack of beer for a stop on the way home.
