I'm a UK citizen, just been out of the UK for about as long as I've been riding bikes. I'm happy to pay what I need to get the license, that no problem. But the ultimate goal is to come back to the UK, get a license and then maybe buy a Himalayan or TransAlp to go travelling with.
Here in Asia I can't buy a bike, well I can and I've owned a few, but I can never legally transfer the deed/title into my name.
Plus a lot of the countries I wanna go travelling to actually do require a license lol. unlike 90% of south east Asia.
