I have a first aid kit under the seat all the time. Good point re the tie downs...P&O and Hoverspeed are great...they do a superb job of fastening down your bike for you with seriously big straps, infact Hoverspeed even have vinyl cushions to go over your seat to protect it from the straps. Brittany Ferries....they throw some bits of thin polypropylene rope at you with a Gallic shrug!! Take a towel or similar to protect your seat if you dont get given a cushion for it. Best tie downs? IKEA!!!!! They do a natty web tie down for £2.50 designed for roof rackuse...there are no metal hooks on this one and its nice & long & two of them do a great job holding an ST4S down across the Bay of Biscay.
