Yep a thorough inspection (mostly for peace of mind)
I take a small set of sockets and Allen wrenches. I lost a nut once, up in Logan, UT.
Water and some little snacks are always good too. Remember to stay hydrated. I try to drink a bottle of water at every gas stop. Of course, it does sometimes make you have to pull over to pee on the side of the road.
I like my camera and a good pair of walking shoes for when I'm not riding.
