r u going to sydney or perth? is the extra $100 for the extra fuel you use carrying all that shit just take cash clothes basic tools throw all the rest of that crap away

Just in case I lost my wallet ...

Just added Panadol. Is that the best painkiller there is (just in case ... )

Andi I don't see anything you missed, have no idea why somethink thats a lot as its all basic and small stuff. I don't read everything here so where are you riding from and to ? distance and time on the road. You obviously have reasons for taking your computer and access.

You can say I'm nervous as this is my 1st big trip but I miss things all the time

Just added band aid. Sounds like a good thing to have around

On the basis that if you take something you can be sure you won't need it you should have a sensational trip Andi. Good luck mate. Let us know when you're in Sydney.

Wrap everything in plastic bags eg Garbage bags and take plenty of spare bags. Don't know what sort of luggage you've got but if yopu hit enough rain it'll get in inevitably

Those Glad sandwich bag things are good too ie for things like wallets,phones etc

doesn't hurt to have a couple of spare levers! don't want to ruin your trip by having the bike fall over and breaking a clutch or brake lever, another good idea would be to send a couple of hundred dollars to sydney in case things are more expensive than you thought! ... I'll give you a P.O Box number to send it too

under my seat i always have
1st aid kit, zip ties (except the other week sorry mrstompy)
puntcure repair kit (tubeless)
and the normal tools.

i always take ipod phone and camera (and approriate chargers)
spare gloves,
wet weather suit
and neck warmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
