Nennam's idea is good.
If you'd ever come to Estonia, i would more than likely(100%) arrange you a free bed and a place for your bike.
But traveling in Europe is much more expensive than in Africa or Asia, don't forget that.

Hm...what about this;
Use all your subscribers and find out if they can accomandate you/show you around on your trip thru their country. You have a world wide fan base...right?
Maybe your fans even can help you with bike and gear so you don`t have those
more...
expenses at the different countries.
Have a money collection. Ask for a buck for your world wide trip on two wheels. Paypal is the thing to have.
Or arrange it so your fans can send you on trips. Meaning they choose destination and pay for it. You go...film....do your thing and share witht the world. Just your emagenation that stops you Robert.
You can do it!!

UKrider, accomodation shouldn't be that bad. I backpacked in Australia & SE Asia recently. One night at a hostel in Australia was about $20 - 25. A night at a hostel in SE Asia is about $10USD.
No need for expensive hotels.
Another thing, how does

gasoline work in other areas in the world? Would your bike be able to accept gas that's made for a country half way around the world?

Yup, the dollar is just too weak right now. That's why when I see tourists form UK & Europe shop here in NYC, they come out with bags & bags & bags of stuff as if the department store is giving it out for free.
To be honest, I think he has a lot more

to worry about in SE Asia if he was to park his bike outside.
Besides, if you're doing an "around the world" tour, how long are you going to be staying at one location? Perhaps just a night? I'm sure instead of staying in the heart of London, you can find a smaller town to spend the night.....a little more suburb = safer & cheaper accomodations.
I certainly will not stay overnight in a large city if I were to go on this adventure.

Yeah I know, Hostels can be had in the UK for about $30 per night, but don't expect your bike to be there when you get up in the morning. It won't!
I was just trying to warn him about UK & Europe. You can't really do a round the world trip, and miss

out Europe. SE Asia is very cheap I know, but he may not realise about the situation re: the dollar against the pound or the Euro.
Because the dollar is so weak against them, prices will be double to quadruple what he's used to paying - on pretty much everything. For example every bike shop I know of charges between 40-50 pounds per hour labour, so that's $80-100per hour. 2 new bottom of the range budget tyres will cost him $450 fitted, 2 premium tyres will cost $600.
...and that is how everything will look. Fuel, food, water, parts & labour. Expensive.

From what I've heard from other travelers, hostels and places to stay can be very cheap in SE Asia and South America.
As for the gas question, that's something I'm sure someone can answer on horizonsunlimited.com

It will be VERY expensive for you - the dollar isn't worth much against the Euro. Fuel alone is around 10 dollars per gallon. Shitty accommodation will cost you 150 bucks per night over here, and food is expensive too.
To do it cheaply but safely you

would have to be thinking of 5000 dollars per month - at least. That's only 3000 euro, or 2500 pounds. Accommodation, fuel ferry charges, maintenance, food etc. $5k won't go far.
