I'd suggest that if you're not in the habit of regularly oiling the control 
cables (Throttle & Clutch) you buy yourself a hydraulic cable oilier and 
pump fresh clean oil right through the cables. It's amazing how much easier 
it is to ride a bike with well lubed cables and a broken or seized cable can 
be a show stopper.

It might also be worth considering adding a puncture preventative to the 
tyres.
A roadside puncture can be a PITA with a fully laden bike, unfamiliar roads 
and a pee'd off SWMBO.
I've successfully used Ultra Seal and OKO.

HTH,
