I ride my motorcycle with relish, but without a preposition.

Not always used because the connotation of "ON" implies on top of something. Rinding ON a car conjures the mental image of some guy holding onto the hood of a car for dear life. Riding ON a plane is a Little more ambiguous. Riding ON a train would be okay except in India and places like that where they literally do ride "ON" the train.

No. You ride on a bus, train, bicycle. You ride in a car or vehicle.

Nope.
I sure wouldn't ride on a hot air ballon. I would ride in the back of the Jeep, I would ride in the submarine.

no it pertains and changes once the action is changed, you ride in a car. you ride on a mortorbike. The term is used too looseley, so it often gets put in when people should be more exact .

If you are inside something that you are riding, then riding "in" would be appropriate.
However, if you are outside something that you are riding, like a bicycle, skateboard, etc., riding "on" would be appropriate.
In other words, as a previous answerer alluded to, I would not ride *on* a submarine, but *in* a submarine. :)
