@Victor-Meldrew USofA license is in the mail with my bike endorsement.
Current life crisis is...- do I go and buy a bike immediately, and maybe get a couple of weeks of summer riding in before putting it away for PNW winter, and pay insurance, etc...
- or procrastinate even further, which got me here, and wait until next summer
- dive into something like riders-share.com for the next month
- go to UK and borrow the bike I left there for a month or so
Fucking 1st world problems, but...

Any of those options except procrastinate. Riding is good for the soul if it's in your blood. I am on a three week trip at the moment and it's been cathartic.

@Crazy-Horse I just found a crowd-sourced rental Ducati Monster less than 1-hour away via public transport. Is now definitely my top option for filling the itch this summer.
And will be back in NZ for Dec/Jan on the Speed Triple.
Next NH summer... I'll look at leasing something for US road-trips. -

And NZ is motorcycle paradise. I didn't appreciate how good it is until I left.

Had a really stressful 3-4 weeks so 1st time out in that time. Clears the head and makes the world seem a lot more manageable.

It is SO fucking good.
I reckon I've now ridden in over a couple dozen countries... 8/10 of my favourite roads are in NZ. -

I'm def. not an unsociable animal, but I'm also at my happiest when riding alone for some reason.

Same, and I am not sure I can explain why
