Maybe pack that list if you are running a chase truck along the trip and passing through the Sahara Desert. Good grief! But it was good for a laugh.
Seriously, how many hundreds of miles are you gonna be from a dealer, after market shop or auto parts where you need to carry a spare set of plugs? And don't forget 2 flashlights. One waterproof. Small container of oil? What's that? How about a qt of synthetic that can be used in any hole? And don't forget to strap a cooking stove on the sissy bar with a fuel source. What about a kitchen sink (gotta clean the utensils) and a hot water heater (surely can't shower with cold water)?
Takes less than an hour to pack and load the bike for a week long run if you only pack what is really needed.
Lunch in Spain on a 3000 km move from Portugal to Sérvia. Carrying way too much crap but it's Oct and car isn't coming until January.
