Don't forget the Rip Ties, Black Electrical Tape, Spare Fuses, Puncture Repair Kit, a small box of Self Tappers common nuts and bolts and a spare Headlight Globe.

The list goes on the further away from home you intend to go.

I think what my neighbor is referring to when he taks of spanners for front and rear wheel nuts, is including the pinch bolts on the fork legs and swingarm, which means 14, 13, 12, and 10mm spanner to do everything. Also don't forget the dipstick for the middle & final drives.
