I guess, what I'm looking for is a realistic figure for everything.
That's assuming depreciation on the bike (being replaced every, say, 5 years), insurance (medical and motor), etc etc etc
Obviously it's hard to calculate - I'd be happy enough to do some camping here and there, but would intend to mix it up with some guest houses/b&bs, couch surfing and hotels.
I don't like cooking at the best of times, prefer restaurant food but can (and have!) make do if I need to.
I think the thought of £500 a month is all well and good, except when something big goes wrong and you need to buy a new bike (or equivalent).
I wouldn't wanna ship the bike hundreds/thousands of miles - that's the point of going travelling - to ride the bloody thing!!
