I startet to read through several forums for traveling with a motorcycle. Interesting, what the different people believe is absolutely necessary, while others will take almost nothing with them. What they all have in common, is their believe, that only they know it right and all the others are behaving stupidly.

Here is my first list with things I believe will come in handy:

For the bike I will take the tools for the obvious maintenance. That is, adjusting the chain tension, disassemble half of the bike to be able to access the battery. I will take all the tools necessary for unmouning the wheels, the handlebar, the break and clutch leaver. Moreover I will take a tire repair kit. For these purposes I startet a list with the exact tools on and update it every time I do something on the bike other then driving around. Moreover I will have to take some spare parts, oil, …

In "Long Way Around" I found it really nice and funny, that they brought all kinds of small liquor bottles.

I want to bring a one way polaroid camera. We then can make pictures and leave the with people, who other wise would never see the picture again.
Then I want to make a list of documents, which are necessary and copies thereof on paper and digital on a small usb stick.
Maybe I should do a list online here?
