You need to focus 110 percent when on a motorcycle. Your head has to be in the right place. It is more difficult that driving a car, but with the right training and practice, it is a rewarding and challenging experience. You are more vulnerable to EVERYTHING on the road. Things that would result in a minor trip to the body shop on a car can kill or injure a motorcyclist. As a motorcyclist, I am afraid of you because we share the same road, and no matter how much focus I have while riding, and unfocused car driver can kill me really fast.
Riding a motorcycle is easier *for me*. You are not me. A car is basically a point and go. You use the right foot to go or stop and the big wheel in front of you to control the direction. A motorcycle has the rear brake under the right toe, the front brake is the right hand lever. Left hand lever is the clutch, the left foot is the gear shifter, up to up shift and down to down shift. The right grip rotates, and it is the throttle control. The left thumb operates the turn signal. Most bikes you have to cancel the turn signal manually, again with the left thumb. The left thumb also operates the horn(s). At low speed you steer left to go left. At higher speeds to steer right to go left. Getting everything working together is as difficult as walking. After you have been doing it a while no thinking is required. Watching a toddler learning to walk is funny. Watching a newbie learning to ride is scary. Me to new rider cousin: Are you going to crash? NOPE! week later: Are you goind to crash again? Probably.
