Adventure motorcycling is a challenge for those who go but only a dream for those who stay behind.

Baccy tin and a fag lighter these solve pretty much anything (or at least makes it more bearable)

Experience!
Without experience you can't use the puncture kit, fit the spare parts you carry or avoid getting ripped off in the many foreign countries you'll visit.
It's not really a 'bit of kit' but essential nonetheless.
Of course, you could say that with experience your trip will be less of an adventure but I think most people would prefer to have the benefit of experience when trying to fix a puncture at the roadside, in the dark, in the rain.
