If you are travelling Turkey, UE (most of the Balkans have joined UE), Ukraine, Georgia and Russia, get a Green Card as soon as you can. You are fom SA, ok, GC Is like the Yellow Card in Africa. It´s gonna be easier and cheaper crossing borders. Do not try to get GC at the border, they want to ripp you off. Try in the first European city you arrive.
If you produce your Green Card everything will work better at borders. Green card works also in Iran, Israel and Morocco. And, how about an accident? A good insurance is the best investment you can do. How much does cost your bike? and your gear? How much about your last hotel and dinner? How much are you going to pay for an insurance? Buy a good one and keep confident. An accidente is a real risk when travelling on a bike. Do not think about insurances just like another f....g paperwork. Maybe you will need it.
