JB Weld and a few bits of  can, in an emergency, can be used to patch the magnesium LHS cover of a DR650 when you drop it hard off road and the gearlever punches a freakin hole in the sidecover.  Just use some petrol to wipe oil away from the area and roughen up the case with a knife blade or sandpaper taking care not to get crap inside.
JB WELD Never leave home without it!!!!!!

Yup, head torch absolutely essential and stops your day ending at 4pm when it goes VERY dark in some places.
I can also recommend taking a pair fleecy slippers. Ideal for tent or digs. The keep your tootsies warm in your sleeping bag, and if you're in digs you'll be walking on a lot of cold floors.
Baby wipes - face, hands, bum, bike.
Happy travelling

Glue, Glue and Gaffa tape
All the following went under the seat with some of the above mentioned items
Gaffa tape, super glue, rubber glue (Shoe Goo), a bag of nylock nuts and bolts. Plus the usual suspects. levers, fuses,tools..
I used them all on a two up 4 month road tour of Europe so off road would be harder on the equipment.
Yup baby/face wipes are great for cleaning you and your cookware..

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
