foccin hell. How long are you away for?
A weekends worth of clothes in the tank bag or tail bag and a tent strapped to the back should be sufficient.
I know what you mean, it does look like a lot for a weekend
Nothing is actually packed yet and I may end up not having to use it all, I just strapped it on to make sure that if I do need it all, it'll fit. I like to be comfortable and do tend to take the kitchen sink though, sleeping bag, roll mat, kettle, stove , chair, lamp, beer etc. etc. it's all bulky stuff and takes up a lot of room. On the plus side even if I do end up taking it all it'll still probably weigh less than my previous bike did naked
