and a set of torx bits. Include a small LED flashlight and a leatherman.
You will be ready for intermediate length trips.
Throw in a tire plug kit (for cast wheels),or spare inner tube and tire spoons (for spoke wheels) and a compressor and you are ready for long trips.

154 piece kit plus extras. It was the compressor that gave it away though.

I have Gaff tape, Like duct tape on the insides of my saddle bags its reusable. Glow stick because my flash lights seem to go B/O when needed. Vice grip needle nose pliers. Bailing wire 10 in 1 scewdriver with extra Torx bits. Fuses Taped to the inside of the side cover with above mentioned tape. The latest one is a Ground lug for electrical conduits, Got me home in traffic when my throttle cable broke!

See my sig line. I really don't know how to take your comment. It appears you are calling me out. If you don't believe me you can always look it up.
Better yet. Where do you want to meet, how far do you want to/think you can go? Loser buys fuel. Serious offer.
We post all the documentation here on the forum and send it to IBA for certification.
Post your acceptance below and tell me where you are located. We will meet at a mid-point to start.
We won't be riding bar to bar...
and my tools and compressor will be in the saddle bags, you can look and see.

You're thinking 154-piece mechanics tool kit and compressor.
I have no doubt that I would fall apart (much less my bike) if I tried the rides you have in your sig. Maybe some day, but not this year.
Again, complete apologies for my irreverence. No disrespect intended.

If you have bags, the HD compressor and plug kit actually don't take up much space. Nice to know its there, one less thing to worry about.
