this is where you will get a roasting about the BMW needing you to bring tools along all the time. I guess it depends on where you tour and how close you are to help and how keen you are to be self sufficient.
On anything more than a day trip I will pack my mini compressor, the puncture repair kit lives permanently under the seat. Anything more than that and I am calling the AA. I have a ziplock that lived in my tank bag which had spare fuses, PVC tape, cable ties and a couple of bulbs. I have only ever opened that bag to help other people fix their own bikes.
I dislike tied on tank bags, so I got a tanklock, the filler on my Aprilia is not compatible with the Givi system and the tank is plastic so I no longer use a tankbag, that was good, I had to rethink the shit I was carrying and never using, ever.
One of the things I like about touring on the bike is being minimal with my packing, but a minimal way of fulfilling what I perceive to be my needs. Banditbandit hasnt told us the size of his Ventura pack, maybe its 150 litres
