I'm thinking it will be cheaper to ship my own bike to Germany for a month long tour of several of the EU countries.
I'm an absolute noob when it comes to overseas touring so anything I should pay special attention to?

Best Frenemy you could have!
Investigate insurance as I believe it's hard to sort when it isn't a local bike. 3rd party should be relatively easy, but full insurance could be close to impossible.

About driving EU: Allot of countries use tolroads, so a creditcard is handy. Also make sure u buy a vignet in Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic and Hungary. Which is a sticker allowing you to drive on the roads
Fines are pretty high in Switzerland and Austria, don't drive without it (and try not to speed
). In France you MUST have a reflecting jacket on & have an alcoholtester on you (no joke
). What time are you coming? I'll try to find out all those rules for you, getting a ticket for not having something on you is a waste of money.
With insurance/importing a bike/getting it road legal I can't help you, from Holland myself. Although it's next to us, the rules are very different on bikes
What are the plans? Alps I presume?
