I'd say taking more t shirts than the number of days your away for is best option, in case yours get wet/smelly and the laundromats aint working or something. They roll up incredibly small anyway, I used to take about 40 on holiday with me abroad Laughing

The one thing missing that stands out to me is something to sleep on - airbed or sleeping mat.

10 t-shirts sounds on the excessive side to me as well, I used five last time I went touring over three weeks, just wash them as you go.

Yeah and ditch the bike manual too, if you really need that you probably aren't going to fix it on the side of the road without an array of tools.

Asda sell some cheapo 'Smart Price' t-shirts for £1.50 each, just buy a new one each day, will save you a load of space and having to stuff all the dirty ones back in with the rest of your luggage.
