I have always carried a medium sized first aid kit on trips.

....And I know why too! I remember you lacerating yourself trying to put that trunk latch back together in Ohio last year. You bled like a stuck pig!

Hopefully none of us will have to use a first aid kit, but you never know, and you never know what you'll run across on the road.

I wonder how many of us carry first aid kits.

He ended up next to one of the stone walls at an overlook, with his bike on top of him. Luckily most of him scraped the grass, but more that half of...
