What about a map in case you have to deviate off your route.
Insurance papers in case something we dont want to name happens
Any other bike papers to cover the whoppers getting tough
I'd take a few spare socks mate to make sure the tottsies get wet .
Whens the trip mate Cheers Ray

Depends on whether you're camping or staying in hard accomadation. I always carry two clothes pegs with me and a small ball of string - amazing what you can do with them. Gaffa tape and a couple of cable ties (mixed sizes) are always handy.

Camera Tooth brush Bottle of Port / Scotch etc (for those nights around the campfire in your motel room) Big knife & flint (works for Bear Grylls) Basically take as much as you can & then see if you can get everybody else to carry it for you & dont forget your sense of humour

take the essentials.
- Spare jocks - Spare socks - Couple of T-shirts - rain jacket - spare sunnies - soap & towel
Thats about it. Just remember saddlebags will carry what you need, not what you want.

Green Steam ahhhhhhh gotta take Green Steam
Just the thing on a frozen night on Mount Robinson in Victoria, as the snow falls and the water seeps into your pit, Green Steam, just enought to warm the cockles
