>>...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
