I had a moped 30 years ago, but gave it up as a bad compromise between the two.

If I had an unlimited budget, I'd have a whole Batcave full of vehicles, with bikes both motor- and human-powered among them. The way things are nowadays, if I can feed myself, I can ride. I'd be likelier to get a beater car before I got a used motorcycle, and I'm not mechanical enough to keep either of those on the road. A new motor vehicle, whether with 2 or 4 wheels, is a pipe dream.

I got back into riding a bicycle for practical reasons, but I've somehow regained the sense of fun it gave me when I was a kid. Perhaps if I keep it up, I'll regain some of my youthful fitness.

I could certainly look like your newbie hog-rider. I've got the gut and am losing the hair.
