You will be surprised what you can fit on so give it a go and if you can get on it still,, go for it.                                                                                                                                                                             

Beer, Beer, Beer, Vodka, Beer, Sense of Humour, Beer and toilet paper                                                                                                                                                                              

Err......... a tent?                                                                                                                                                                             

as  a pillion  for a 3 day rally  I take  clean knickers, 2 T-shirts, spare jeans  ( to get out of textiles into ) comfy boots, baby wipes, toothbrush/toothpaste, hairbrush, my fave hoodie ( in case it gets chilly ) sweatshirt, ( tent and sleeping bag is usually already packed on bike ) my purse and my fully charged camera                                                                                                                                                                              

apple crumble and custard if you're going anywhere that Bill might be!                                                                                                                                                                             

Chocolate, sweets, baby wipes, loo roll, hair tie, knife/scissors, bin bag and condoms just in case!                                                                                                                                                                             

And no, the bin bag and condoms are not to be used on the ugly ones!                                                                                                                                                                             

Drugs, don't forget the drugs.   By that i mean the paracetamol, rennies,  immodium etc.  They don't take up any room and they can rescue your weekend if you have any bad effects from all the beer and lard burgers.   Oh and some drinking water for early morning.                                                                                                                                                                             

always get some water on way back to tent at stupid o'clock                                                                                                                                                                               

must have an airbed of decent thickness....mine has integrated pump x                                                                                                                                                                              

Somewhere (last year) there was a thread about what to take, have a look back Failing that get to know someone who takes a car and get them to carry it for you                                                                                                                                                                              

If it's a hot summer one i usually freeze a few small water bottles before i go and keep 'em among the beer. 
2 jobs in 1 - beer chiller then drinking water once it's thawed. (can't see you needing that tip yet though, lol)     Don't forget something to put under your sidestand                                                                                                                                                                                  

torch so you don't trip over all those guy ropes on the stagger back to your tent                                                                                                                                                                             

More beer!!                                                                                                                                                                             

yeah got a little wind up torch  it's brill                                                                                                                                                                              

I'm assuming that this is a uk based question for more than two days away Learn to pack by rolling stuff up fill  the space inside shoes and under the seat on the bike use minatures for shampoo etc if in a group decide who takes what and don't duplicate items use technical fabric clothing where possible if you are camping take a length of line and some pegs and a sachet of travel wash employ the three items principle one on one off and one in the wash for undergarments at least also maybe take an empty ruck sack or leave some spare carrying capacity just in case Try to imagine what would you would do if you had to strike camp in the pouring rain Take spare cash in case the plastic isn't welcome Finally for now don't forget a sense of humour   BT
