	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?

*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.
