Get the bike and get a go-pro! A trip is wonderful...then it's over. But you can have many more adventures recording on a bike. There is a very good reason this has been plaguing you. If you have the means to follow a new direction - and the thought keeps resurfacing - you need to see where it leads. The drone would be pretty neat too as long as it helps with 'change of mindset change of scenery' - we all need that every one once awhile. And to feel the freedom earned through the rewards of our efforts.
