Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Its just over a week until my 2nd foray into france on the bandit. I've installed a small screen since last summer, and i won't be going avec pillion this time so it should be more fun (and a bit quicker).
I've ordered some fresh oil and filter to do this weekend, and i'll check tyres and chain before i go. Is there anything else i might have forgotten? I don't remember preparing anything last year, but i may have just forgotten.
Riding Birmingham - Eurotunnel - Calais - Brittany then back the same route (ish) after a few days.
I hope it doesn't rain!
Check air filter?

Oh and use the super plus and not the normal lead free petrol as the forrin petrol contains lots of ethanol and motorbikes don't like it.
