Good one Chris.Imo don't sell the bike.It's easy to take with you or leave it with someone and retrieve it later.Were ever you end up there will be fresh trails to explore.
You may end up in the west island therefor selling would be best.
Cheers
Gm

A friend of mine had the same thought. After 10 years or so travelling around in his bus he finally decided to settle in one place and retire. He was a builder of sorts, and reckoned he was never short of work, where ever he went. He came to the conclusion that in fact he/they needed very little money or posessions to live happily. I'm not sure that he ever found what he was looking for when he started out, but seems pretty comfortable now - goes on lots of long rides on his Triumph...
I guess your idea makes alot of us think about why we don't "ditch that dead end job". I spend more than an hour each morning and each night in the car just getting to my "dead end job"....why... I dunno.... I guess maybe I realise it has provided me with my house, car, boat etc..as has yours. I lack the courage to break free, so good on you, I admire what you are doing and wish you luck.
(now back to work for me... what was I doing..Oh yeh... job costing spreadsheets...yawn..)

Neither did Bono, but then what do you expect if you walk around in dark glasses all the time!!

Full respect for making the move,it's a hard decision to uproot your family & often it looks easier to just plod on.If you go down the path of your own business ,a new bike on the horizon is a great motivator.Good luck.
