How/where do I get an International Motorcycle License ?

I had the same bike, spent $500 on the carbs trying to get it to run right. Gave up when it was suggested that I put a set of smooth bores on ($1500). I'd jump on the bike and it would just die, no power, nothing. On long straight away, I'd slowly roll the power up and nothing but black smoke would come out. Was getting about 20 mpg and changing plugs about every 3k miles. I know how you feel.

The original carbs were fitted with a brass needle housing that wore out.
