Getting ready for Germany.

Now I know I have posted here before about the credit card and tooth brush scenario but I really like to be prepared for foreign travel.
I thought it may be useful to some contemplating this trip to show my preperations for Germany next month.
To save those reflector benders I fitted a non directional headlamp.
In my spares kit are spare bulbs, fuses, tape, plug cap and I will add a plug or two. All sealed up in an ice cream tub.
I also have inner tubes and levers. The bicycle pump will be hard work but I will add compressed air canisters as well.
The spare clutch cable is on its way from Z Power.
If anyone wishes to add to this then do but only useful comments please.

Thats good TLC - now I know I won't have to bring anything as you've got it all
I'll be taking a set of plugs, lots of cable ties and a complete "points" set-up as back up

Great minds think alike Chris,think we might be able to set up a stall with all the bits we are taking,
hopefully we will need none of it but best to be prepared,will have a small foot pump if you get stuck.

Scored a proper bargain today - a chap at work has just sold his bike (a modern Z1000) and offered a set of Oxford Lifetime Sports luggage to his mate for £30....... Luckily his mate turned them down - so I step in and offer to help him out and give him £25
They have only been used once.... also included the tank/tail bag - but I probably won't need to use that.
Should fit all me biscuits, T-shirts & sox in them okay
Not sure if they're facing the right way tho' ?
Also fitted a little screen I got off eBay for me XBR500...
