    I would start with your bike give a good going over before you go make sure everything as it should be maybe give it a service an if your tyres are boarder line you will need to buy some more at the iom so money should put aside for that. May cost 60-80 a pair in the pits used tyres that is .

    Just pack as if your going camping like alex said mosty you will be eating out everyday at a cost of 15 max for your 600 cc 30 max for fuel that's about 300 miles a day ? If you injoy a beer then add another 10 easy as beer isn't cheap either

    Pending how many days your going for will depend how much clothing you take.

    I look like a cave man lol maybe

    5 t shirts two pairs of jeans one pair of flip flops one pair of shoes/ boots for evening wear to the pub! One flece which is also worn on the bike. Light for your tent wind up kind pos a radio blow up pillow ear plugs lock for you bike if you be arsed taking one just for at night

    As for socks one pair to last 2/3 day
    two pairs of bike gloves I don't take winter gloves just summer kind
    basic cleaning stuff tooth brush that kinda thing

    Spare bike key just incase !

    The tool kit on your bike should be fine fir tightening your fairing up as things start to get lose a bit at silly speeds all day

    Other than that mate now much tesco is realy cheap for everything you may need or forget . Lol

    This year it's:

    * Me
    * Bike
    * Tent
    * Sleeping bag
    * Air bed
    *Rucksack (containing boxies, socks, pair of shorts, jeans, t-shirts, bo spray and toothbrush.

    If I need anything else, I'll just get it when I'm over there. Not planning to pack the bike as much as last year!

    The DSLR will be staying at home this year. Was a pain in the ass to carry around.

    The GoPro will be all I need.
