If you have space beneath your seat for a length of clear plastic hose it would be a great idea to stash it there in case one of your riding buddies runs short of gas and you need to siphon some from your bike to their's.
We ran our usual route to Orsaks for breakfast on New Year's Eve and one of us overestimated their bike's ability to make it to the next gas stop. Now I used to carry a length of clear plastic hose wrapped up in my mini jumper cables ... but this time it wasn't there.
I've since been over to the hardware store to remedy that as it would have saved us some time. It was pointed out to me that many of the gas tanks sit very low in some bikes and you might not always be able to siphon directly from one bike to another, but lots of times somebody will have a water bottle we can sacrifice as a temporary container.
