Things a new 2T owner needs?

All very good input. My only addition is "QUICKSTEEL" or metal putty as mentioned above.
Saved me, I mean *us* twice.
Once near Moab 20 miles from the truck, at the end of Tenmile wash, my buds Outlaw (racing ATV) got a rock stuck between wheel and axle, punched a hole in the wheel. We wasted 3 CO2 cartridges before we realized we had a giant hole in the wheel. Funny, he said "we are screwed"...I was thinking "We???" but quicksteel sealed the hole, we were able to ride out, 4 years later he still has never had it welded..
Another time I smacked a rock with my engine case (dirt bike) causing a big oil leak. Put it on it's side, sanded, quicksteel, 15 minutes later riding again. 3 years on that bike after that and I never replaced the side cover. Sold it a year ago, still going strong.
So yes, bailin' wire, duct tape, quicksteel.

Bahahahaha...that's awesome.

I don't have that in my stuff, but I'm going to add it now! Your story reminds me of the first time I jumped back on a dirt bike after ~20 years. I was back visiting my best bud from collage in WI and he puts me on his CR250. We're out trail riding and I hit an incline a little too slowly and tried to compensate - looped the damn thing and ended up punching a hole in the clutch cover :(:( Very slow ride back to the rig and then off to an aluminum welder to get it fixed...could have used some of that stuff.

Great add man :D
