Insane buying a bike at 50?

[boxst]

Probably due to some mid-life crisis, I have the urge to start and have been looking at various 125cc and the CBT.

I just wonder if starting so late the instinctive riding has passed and as such am much more likely to injure myself? I have noticed that my car driving isn't exactly worse, but not as it was at it's peak.

Thank you all for the comments and advice. I spent my 50th Birthday (last Tuesday) having a look at bikes. So CBT will be booked for next week and then I will buy a 125cc something or other, second hand as I'm not sure I want to commit £5K yet.

Any recommendations for a bike?
