What’s in my tool kit?

From racing to adventure riding, it’s a matter of time before a bolt gets loose or a tire needs repaired. Bouncing between adventure rides on the Scrambler, dual-sport outings on the WR250R, and racing the KTM 350 XCf-w, these are the tools I carry to tackle trailside challenges, and when the trips get longer, the fender and tail bags come out.
