I'll reiterate some good advice already given. Take (or re-take) the MSF
basic course. Get something used, small, cheap and Japanese to ride while
you refamiliarize yourself with your skills. Chances are that you will drop
it once or twice. Don't take a passenger until you're completely
comfortable riding alone.
Do not skimp on safety gear. If you think you like the feel of wind in your
hair, sit in front of a box fan while you think about the widow and orphans
that you're not going to leave behind.
