I'm thinking it's either going to be something leather or at least with crash pads for riding the motorcycle through the burning suburbs looking for gas to siphon. Definitely a helmet, though. Gotta have tunes. "Walk Like an Egyptian", and "Sweet Dreams Were Made of These". "Distant Early Warning" by Rush, maybe "Grace Under Pressure" and "Red Barchetta" (classic post-internal combustion).

As a tribute to Mark Twain, probably "a dead rat and a string to swing it." I'm getting a lot of mileage out of that one lately.
