... another retired Black Rat.
Apart from the Sat-nav I've also fitted a small compass on the Migsel shelf for when our Tomtom insists we're riding through a field! It only cost us about £5 and is a great fall-back...
As has been said on earlier posts, water is readily available on our routes so there's no need to carry any. Bulbs, hi-vis vest and First-aid kit are obligatory when travelling through France. Many of the European countries also get upset if you have speed camera warnings on your sat-nav.
Credit cards are a must but they don't always work in other countries in Europe, but they're good to have for the hotels, although we tend to use pre-paid cards instead so we know where we are with the finances and attract no CC fees.
Clothing - not much, mesh gear and mesh gloves, waterproofs and w/proof overgloves. 2 spare pairs of underwear, socks and thin polo shirts.
Tablet/mobiles + chargers, we have a multi socket that fits all of the electricals with one USB socket and plug, saves so many additional cables.
Tyre repair kit and small electric pump, Honda toolkit and list of Honda main dealers.
We had loads of jabs for when we went through Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia... including Rabies and Hep B/C.
ID bracelet with ICE contacts and medical info.
We also take about 1000 Euro (£700) cash because many of the Greek hotels and restaurants prefer cash.
Service and new tyres every time!
