When it comes to vehicles on two wheels, fuel is not the only thing that needs protection. If you want your vehicle to be protected, then you all should have tank bags because you can put in them all the necessary tools to ensure it. Otherwise, you can have fuel, but there's no point if you don't have a functioning wheel.
