i was thinking about making an emergency kit for accidents and what not on the road, and i wasn't quite sure about what to use as a bag and what should be in it. i was also unsure of where to actually stow it on the bike, or whether or not to just have a backpack.

what do YOU do? :D
 
I use a handle bar mount Bell bag from Wallmart. In it are a new inner tube, a Bell multitool in a pouch which includes a tire patch kit, plastic tire irons, and many funky tools to fit most bike screws and bolts. I also carry a small tire pump, pliers, a Shrader valve tool with a spare valve core, a small jack knife, spare batteries for the lights, and several engine specific tools. The Bell multitool tools are a pain to use, but in an emergency out on the road they work well enough to get me by.
 
I have a rack mount box, carries my spares and has plenty of room.
- spare tube
- fix-a-flat (bike size)
- leather man
- Blackburn bike tool (much better than bell, includes bike chain breaker/tire levers)
- air pump
- vise grips
- spare 415 and bike chain sections
- allen wrenches to fit jackshaft
- 12mm, 10mm, 1/2 and 9/16 wrench
- 4 way screwdriver
- spare batteries for lights
- crankpullers (both engine and bike)
- 415 chain tool
- small spare parts bag (nuts/washers/set screws/bolts)
- zip ties
- spark plug
- 4oz bottle two stroke oil
- spare head (blew out one plug hole, this one seems OK, might drop it.)
- And oh yes, always have my cell phone!
