A bit like insurance really - you hope you never need it, but bloody useful if you do.
Not over kill.
We had a bit of a funny farm moment last year when me and my mate rode two bikes to Barcelona Moto GP,
First i let my credit card fly out of my tank bag, was using it for the tolls, we were a bit shifty on toll releases as both of us went through the barrier lift each time,two for one, so it was a bit wacky races to get going, if he went to fast then the barrrier would come down before i got going :'(
Anyway i had cash for me so i would be ok,,buuuuttttttt then my mate lost his cash and credit card :'( :eek
Yes he was fucked :lol
ANyway i had a reserve credit card,,,bloody good job too

So my advice is take a plan "A" , plan "B" and also a plan "C" , we needed it.It is your insurance to getting home.
