I didn't get my motorcycle license until about 8 years ago. I rode without one for years. You absolutely should get on your neighbors 50cc bike. The best way to learn is to start small and then graduate up. I started on a little bike. My daughter has a Yamaha PW50.
I don't like the forward riding position of sport bikes. They beat you up over long distances. You may want to consider a dual sport (enduro) bike. They have good power, handle great, get good fuel economy and you can dump them in the dirt without completely trashing them. Remember, you haven't ridden until you've crashed. It's like getting your ass kicked. It brings you back to earth, so to speak.

Lunchy's right. If you are worried, many colleges offer a class that you can take where you ride real bikes, practice and then get your license at the end of the class. The only mildly difficult portion of the test is doing the figure 8's. The best advice for that is look where you are going and not at your front wheel. Your body's natural equilibrium will keep you upright.

I'm curious if anyone has one of the Kindle gadgets to download and read books on?
I don't have one myself but I just found out you can download a free bare-bones version of the Kindle to your pc. I did this a couple of weeks ago and I now LOVE reading books on my laptop. The best thing about it is that there are literally thousands of books that are FREE to download as the copyrights have expired on them. This means most of the so-called classics are free and many many other types of books too. I was astounded to see that even the books that aren't free are much, much cheaper when you buy a downloaded version than when you buy a hardcopy of the same book!! Tons of books, start at less than a dollar.
When you do a search for books just make sure it puts them in order of cheapest to more expensive and all of the free books will come up first on the list.
You can download the free version of Kindle from Amazon although you will need to sign up to the Amazon website to actually download any of the books.
One of the really cool things about it is you just double click on a word and the definition pops up.
There are a few drawbacks of course; some of the books don't have the pictures that are in the hardcopy versions which is a bummer.
Anyhow....I'm definitely a convert!

Do you realize that in about forty years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tatoos and pierced navels? O.o
