I would very much like to know if it is possible to rent motorcycles for touring overseas, and if anyone on the net has any experience doing this. More specifically, I hope to go to Europe this summer, and would like to spend one week of my vacation buzzing around in England and possibly Scotland.* When I mentioned this to a friend, he asked me to ask for information about such rental in Japan, as well. I think that responses should probably be sent to me by mail (I am a little unsure about the etiquette of this); if anyone wants me to, I will summarize to the net. Is it possible to get one of those "International Driver's Licenses" with a motorcycle endorsement? Do people in England and Japan accept such? Is there anything funny I should know about motorcycling in England or Japan? Is there anything I should know that I don't know enough to ask about? Thanks, Robert Goldman MultiMate International *My bike is a BMWR65, and if at all possible, I would like to rent something along those lines -- a dependable tourer, but not a monsterbike.
