    Long time rider here - riding since 1961 (yeah, I'm that old). A couple of notes.
    Glasses - if you need prescription lenses, get polycarbonate (Lexan) lenses. They're a bit thicker than glass, but they won't trash your eye should something hit them. This per my ophthalmologist. Other than that - you're absolutely correct. Plastic, no glass.
    Stimulants - if you need them, you need to get off the bike and rest a bit. Your body is trying to tell you something and you can't fool it in the long run.

    As part of my toolkit/emergency kit I carry a set of flares. They came in very handy a couple times last year when I was on the freeway broken down on the side of the road. Helps to let oncoming traffic now there’s a vehicle stopped up ahead, cars and trucks flying up the right side lane at 60-70 mph really make it difficult when you’re on a motorcycle at the side of the road.

    Iridium visors are real good and totally kill the glare from the sun but they are a bit expensive, try a few lines of electrical tape across the top of your visor i have 3 lines of it on my scorion exo lid and i have it so even if the sun is real low i only have to tip my head a midgies and the sun disapears ontop the taped area, also yellow and orange visors are real good they seem to make things stand out big time and the best thing is they reduce the glare from car LED headlights, dont know if you have the same prob in the states as we do in the uk but these HID LED headlights are dangerouse if you ask me, btw you look seriously wicked in the RED jacket....

    You are ready for almost anything. Good planning. I have saddle bags and I have everything in mine as I do a lot of riding alone and I just drive. Most of the time I go to unfamiliar roads and have no idea where I am so I also have a gps for a little assistance from time to time. I always have a portable booster that can boost your bike if needed or recharge any electronics and power my gps. Frogg toggs are a must for wet rides, I love them as they can be used to warm up in case you underestimated how warm it was. I carry water, snacks and Dex 4 as I am diabetic in case my sugar goes low. I have extra gloves face masks etc.... My buddies make fun of me but they have all benefited from these at one point or another.

    I take a repair kit and a small air compressor (accu driven) with me.
    In my car, or my motorcycle.
    To repair my tubeless tyres, if they become flat.
    including spare tyre valves and his special tool, if I got stolen.
    So I can repair my tyres, without dismounting from the bike.
    I got my spark plugs stolen, on a parking area near a music club.
    But smile, I had spare plugs with me. Just mount it, and drive away.
    Spare fuses and spare light bulbs are a must.
    If you have no automatic fuses in your vehicle, and no LED lights.
    Chain lube in a spray is a must, if your bike is rear chain driven.
    ie to prepare your chain before rain, or lube it after driven in rain.
    My clothes, gloves, and boots are waterproof. If it rains.
    Ask experienced driver, what they got, by riding.
    And be prepared as possible.
    On longer tours I take so much tools with me, that I can repair my engine, too.
    In the past, I needed it.
    On a tour, I met a motorcycle driver, with burned electric cables, under his gas tank.
    Maybe a cable short was the reason.
    But I had spare cables, tape etc. to repair it. So he can ride back home: 500 miles.

    Forgot to add: I always carry a rain jacket and pants on a trip. I got caught out once big time and everything got soaked. It took a few days to dry out my boots and even the lining in my helmet was wet. I've heard a full rain suit is best, but nothing is absolutely waterproof except a submarine.

    Those of us with tube type tires have to carry a shitload of stuff - tubes (can't patch a shredded tube), pump, tire tools, tarp to keep hub clean while wheel is on the ground, tire lube, tools to remove wheel and tire, hat to keep the sun off, tarp to keep the rain off, etc. I had two flats in one day once, so it was like a 6 hour ordeal. Plus no center stand so have to partially disassemble the bike so I can lay it on its side to remove wheel. Always the rear wheel of course. Thankfully I avoid city riding so nails, etc. are rare where I go.

    In the tank bag (actually a tail bag) on baby Grom, water bottles, bungie cords and net, multitool, tire repair stuff, zip ties, bug off stuff, pair of socks, rag, one of those ponchos, and plastic bag. The magnetic one I use on the TUX, fits in a helmet; cords, socks, rag, multitool, tire gauge, plastic bag, and most important is a bottle of water. I need two ammo cans to carry all the tire repair stuff on the TU, tools, one rear tube, praying I never need it...and rain gear. Stay pretty, take water.
