LOL, I'm that guy. Really depends on where I'm going.
Somewhere within 20kms of town: Full set of sockets, cresent wrench, some generic "most bolt" wrenches, 10mm and 13 mm, hay wire, tape, electrical connectors and a short chunk of 12 gauge wire, snap ring pliers, spare bearing for idler wheel, vise grips, leatherman, full set of main jets for the elevation I'm riding at (have a full full set that stays at home and I just take the ones I need), another set of needles and tubes, full set of spare plugs (BR7s to BR10's - two of each), two spare plug caps and one extra wire, a few assorted nuts and bolts and a tow strap.
Farther out of town: All of the above, plus extra secondary clutch, all springs and weights (pin kit), manuals, extra voltage regulator and coils, clutch holder, puller, plus a few more specialized tools.
Edit: looked in the bag last night and added a few other things that I forgot - spare rope for starter, fuel transfer hose with primer bulb, flexible LED light for piston inspection (tmix reminded me of that) and a universal screwdriver
