You do not have to ship the bike back to get your deposit. You have to ship Carnet book to AA in Johannesburg with all the right entry/exit stamps... especially Egypt.. since that's the sticky point... once they receive that and verify that you exited the country, they don't need to hold on to your money anymore.
If you want to go 2up... then you'd stick to main roads i assume  but... can you ride well enough for single person? 2up is heavy and all that. But not impossible i assume. I never done it.
I don't know about the bike registered in Ireland, I assume you'd need carnet not matter what, just would have one issues in Europe ... probably ...not 100% sure.
Hope that helps

It definitely does help mate. Thank you.
Yes, I will have to go about getting a motorcycle licence back home in Ireland.
Ideally, I'd like to ride from my hometown in Ireland all the way to SA over the course of 6-8 months. (We have the time to do it).
But if that's not a possibility, then SA to Cairo or vice versa would be fine.
So, why did I read people saying the carnet is 800% of the bikes value and you have to ship the bike back to get the money? So confusing at times trying to work out if the info is legit on some websites. That's why I was told to head to this one
Yeah, we'd stick to main roads and we've gone 2up all the way through Vietnam over a month before - so I do have a little experience (not much).
