Tour Pac:
Tools, first aid kit, pump for shocks, waters, manual, camera and lenses, gloves, baseball cap

Some rope, duct tape, some light chain, cotton rags, latex gloves, bleach, a small hammer and punch and some KY Jelly. Oh and a tire gauge, my insurance, my chaps and an jacket.
I understand the KY and rubber gloves, but where's the flashlight?
I keep all my tools, rain gear, and stuff that stays on my bike, in the right side saddlebag, the one that I am less likely to use. Everything I load/pack/carry for the day trip or whatever I might be doing for the day goes in my left side saddlebag. The side I mount and dismount on most frequently. It works well for me and I always like to know where everything is at a moments notice.... especially my rain gear.
We put bottles of water in the Freezer. And some in the fridge.
They last a surprising amount of time. If they still have ice in them, pour some of the fridge water in them and you can drink cold water almost all day.
And when you have STOPPED for the day, you can pour some JD in for a nice refreshing Jack & water on the rocks. just sayin' .....that's what I have heard anyways.....
