Things I Carry on My Honda Navi

When people think of riding, they often imagine the thrill of the wind, the hum of the engine, and the open road ahead. And while that’s certainly part of the experience, what many don’t see is the quiet preparation—the small but meaningful choices that make every ride smoother, safer, and more satisfying.

I ride a Honda Navi—yes, the small-but-mighty commuter that blends fun with function—and I’ve carefully curated a collection of items that live on (or with) the bike every time I ride. Some of these are practical, some are for peace of mind, and some simply make life easier. This isn’t about carrying everything—it’s about carrying just enough.

Here’s what comes along for the ride:

🔧 Kemimoto Tail Bag
Amazon Link
Compact, secure, and reliable. It’s my main storage solution and handles nearly everything I throw at it—from gear to groceries.

☔ Rain Gear
Amazon Link
Tucked away in my tail bag, this rain suit has saved me more than once. Weather’s unpredictable. My preparedness isn’t.

🔌 SAE to USB-C Adapter
Amazon Link
Perfect for keeping my phone or camera charged during longer rides. Compact, efficient, and dependable.

🧴 Star Tron Fuel Treatment
Home Depot Link
A must for small engines like the Navi. I use this especially before longer storage periods.

🧯 3D Printed PETG Funnel
Made it myself, fits perfectly in the tail bag. It’s light, durable, and comes in handy more often than you'd think.

🧻 Spare Paper Towels
Because grease happens.

🔒 Motorcycle Chain Lock
Security when I leave the Navi out of sight for a bit too long. It's peace of mind in a pouch.

🪢 Bungee Cords & Ratchet Strap
Amazon Link
Unexpected cargo? No problem. These help secure just about anything in a pinch.

🎒 Foldable Backpack (Under Seat)
Rolls up to the size of a soda can, but opens up to carry extra groceries, gear, or last-minute surprises.

🛠️ Simple Tool Kit
A screwdriver, adjustable wrench, and a few other basics—just enough to get me out of a bind.

⚡ Jump Pack + EC5 to SAE Adapter
More useful for my Ninja than the Navi (thanks to the kickstarter), but I carry it sometimes just in case.

🔦 Flashlight / Electric Lighter
Lives in my pocket. Because you never know when you’ll need light—or fire.

It’s a humble collection, but it works. And for me, riding isn’t just about the destination. It’s about being self-reliant, aware, and ready to enjoy the ride—rain or shine, curve or straightaway.
