You must do it
 

Ok mate I have read your concerns, whats your route, do you need a carnet??

I have just travelled through many countries in Africa and now in Dubai and I got all the way here with out a carnet and everyone told me its NOT possible, I made it no worries, bit of ingunity (mind the spelling) at times but I made it, if you want to camp a bit keeps costs down, so with fuel and food I spend about 40 Aussie bucks a day, this includes everything from visas to new tires, since there are two of you it will not be doubled due to one bike so maybe around 60-70 bucks a day perhaps, depends how you travel I guess.

Which country you in, UK? so if you do get a carnet go down the road of the insurance option for the carnet, cost you about 700 quid then. Devalue the bike a little. There are many options mate.

You must do this trip, and face any problem that is put in front of you, I been on the road for 18 months now, Malaria Twice, maggot grew in my leg, held a gunpoint by drunken soilders and now here in Dubai my bikes been stolen, but I must go on!!!

Its all apart of it

Cheers

Got no money, but stuff that. It's bears I'm worried about.:(
