Here's my crazy list carried for 15,000km. 

a large lunch box full of spares and tools including 2 inner tubes!

1/4 of a tyre (i've acctualy had to cut this up to fix 6 +side wall splits in both tyres

A steel sauce pan - i cut the handle off, but it has a thick bottom and i can cook real food in it.

Water filter (never used)

5l water bag (never used)
Massage ball (never used)
Kindle (never used)

Satnav (stopped using it after 1 month)
2x fuel bottles (1 big and 1 small for cooking)

5ft staff (for fending off the women - very little use :(

Extra thick ground sheet (i use it every night)

Assorted coins, stones, seeds and other 'stuff' picked up on the road.

Fulñy loaded, i can barely lift my bike, but i can fix almost anything that breaks in the middle of nowhere, eat good food, sleep well, be dry, warm and fend off any beautiful women ;)
