Knives and motorcycling go together like, well, maybe I shouldn't finish that thought, as they're more routinely associated with outlaws than anything else. Yet, as I've talked about on numerous occasions, I think a trust pocket knife is probably the most important tool you could own, whether you ride bikes, drive ATVs or UTVs, or ride snowmobiles.
That may sound hyperbolic, but I've found that when I'm stuck by the side of the road, my pocket knife has come in handy more times than I care to admit. And in terms of getting yourself out of a bad situation, say, if you flip a UTV and the seatbelt gets stuck, I know I have my blade to cut the strap.
