What have I forgotten?

[kieranc]

I set off to Yorkshire on Saturday from the south of France. The distance is virtually 1000 miles split fairly evenly between 2 days, day 1 a 500 mile motorway blast to Evreux for a gig then day 2, 200 miles to a ferry at 11:30 am then 300 miles up through England.
Bike is an 02 SV650S, recent oil change, 20k miles ish.
I have passport, tickets, money, tools cable ties and duct tape... but I'm sure I must have forgotten something.
Anyone who knows what it is please let me know, or if you can think of anything else handy and small (getting tight on space already...) I should take...
I'll be doing the return journey 10 days later, assuming my **** has recovered by then. Tally ho!

Torch? And a flat cap to mingle with the locals? Actually wellies might be a better option :-P

remember to ride on the other side of the road and turn left at roundabouts. falling that then some cheese should see you threw the bad times :-)

I've ridden more here than i the UK by a long shot so I think the difficulty would be riding on the correct side in England.. Hasn't been a problem before though! Got torch, no high vis or breakdown.... EHIC present.

True. Considering the recent weather this is a very good suggestion.
