To angusgreene, as others have commented, that's a lot of cash for a toolkit. Assembling your own is cheaper and has the added benefit of making you consider whether each tool would be required. You may already be quite familiar with your bikes, but for many when they initially are getting set up to go on a long trip, they are not as familiar with their bikes as they could be. It's a great excuse to get a manual and some tools and fart around with your bike and do a few of the standard things so that you will feel more confident if anything will happen to you while on the road.
You may have also been searching through other sites but for most bikes, the sites specific to your manufacturer and even model are usually filled with incredible detail and the users are typically very experienced so usually there's a wealth of knowledge to access and learn from. Here's a good place to research tools and such and see how different people have approached it.

I think you need to chill out a little mate !!
We can remove all humour and soul from every post and topic but then we might as well sit at home and read workshop manuals and analyse statistics.
I don't think anyone would really take my post as serious advice. If they have, then I apologise profusely and I will offer to cover the costs of all those who took out AA membership on my poor advice.
Tis but a forum.. Where like minding people share advice , good will, humour and friendship. !!
