-The latest and most awesome smartphone (loaded to the brim with nav apps, fuel management apps, games, photos and videos of the family, music, movies, e-books, service manuals, travel guides, etc)
-Rider Repair Kit: Hip Flask with something strong (preferably brandy or scotch), some cubes of sugar, and serving size packets of instant coffee. Enjoy a swig or ten from the bottle after a hard days ride. If it is cold out, then use hot coffe and sugar as a mixer (you allways carry water).
-Any kind of tobacco. It's been many years since I was a habitual smoker, and I hardly ever smoke anymore, except as a special reward for a great acheivement or as a much needed pick me up, or socially.... adventure motorcycling provide many opportunities for all of the above. I find that tobacco and drink is a great way to connect with others. (chew or smoke, it is all good)
-Thermos Cup - Fill it up with hot water for instant hot serials, soups or noodles, tea, or instant coffeee (for instance to compliment rider repair kit).

And something very unusual, but that I highly reccomend (the rest of the gang on my last trip became addicts):
-Psyllum Husks. And this is when I get graphic: It makes having to take a dump on the side of the road, or using some really nasty toilets, a whole lot easier. You will be firing off all your missiles in no time, your roll of toiletpaper will last you allmost arround the world, and your underwear will get extra mileage if need be. Your stomach and crack will be ready to battle the saddle for hours, days, weeks...
