Kimber 45 ultra carry. Just like an American Express Card, don't leave home without it.
Seriously, this thread made me consider what I should have on board in case of a mechanical problem. I carry the insurance card and registration rolled up in an old prescription bottle (no lablel). So, I was digging around today for an adapter to use a socket on a small impact driver and found an old automotive tool kit that I used to carry in the camper. It measures about 14x11x3.5 inches and has a 3/8 socket set in sae and metric, sparkplug socket, a screwdriver handle with an assortment of bits, torx and hex, a circuit tester, tape, wire, small jumper cables, flashlight, needlenose pliers, small crescent wrench, air gauge and a tool to break car side glass and cut seatbelts. This is a cheapo kit, but it is compact and might have just what a person, me or someone else needs to make a minor repair. So, in the trunk it went. picture shows it opened up, it folds like a clamshell and there is room for a little more stuff. ThumbUp

.40cal Sig........What recommendations as to what to keep on board at all times..........
For the folks who have a handgun, when riding where do you carry it? On the person or somewhere on the Trike?
I know if I need it, quick access would be a good thing.
I also know carrying has its own issues.
Suggestions?

Is it safe to assume that everybody that carries a firearm has a concealed carry permit or whatever the state you reside in calls it? Do you know what states honor that permit, also known as reciprocity? I live on the Mississippi river in Iowa, if I cross the bridge into Illinois with a concealed handgun I'm breaking the law. If I go about 25 miles south into Missouri I'm good to go. We like to go to the mountains in New Mexico and Colorado in the summer to escaped the heat and humidity, I can legally carry all the way to NM, then my permit is not recognized, but it is in CO. You can go to usacarry.com and bring up a reciprocity map that will show you the states that honor your permit. This is a REALLY good thing to know. Now you guys have got me wondering what the right thing to do if you are riding through a state that does not have reciprocity. In a vehicle I clear the weapon and separate it from the magazine, gun in a storage compartment under rear seat and mag in glovebox or center console. A trike, especially one with only one trunk, then what?
Bohica66, we are nearly neighbors. Fort Madison is an old stomping ground of mine. I was born in Burlington. I can't tell you how many times I've been across that old draw bridge.
Hey Catfish. You probably can't tell me how many times you wanted to go across that bridge and it was open for a barge either. What a PITA! Did you ever ride from Nauvoo to Hamilton? Pretty scenic for our area.
You are right about the barges. Many times I've sat on that bridge waiting for a barge to pass through. As for Nauvoo, I trip up there pretty often. I can leave Quincy on the bottom roads all the way to Warsaw. From there to the East of the Keokuk bridge and up the river road into Nauvoo. It is a great ride for a day trip. The wife enjoys the Wine festivals in Nauvoo. We need to meet up sometime in the very near future. ThumbUp
