>>...I'm starting to think a motorcycle sounds rather interesting, of late! More fun than a four-wheeled vehicle, and much better gas mileage. Is this what happens after one passes the big five-oh? How hard is it to learn to ride one, at my age? <<

Right hand- steering, throttle, front brake Left hand- steering, clutch Right foot- rear brake, and to kick start if applicable Left foot- shift gears Both feet- to prevent your falling over at stoplights
