Of course not! In fact, if you've had a few years behind the wheel and can read traffic flow well enough to avoid bad situations, you probably have the maturity necessary to work with your learning curve and not die within a month.
I never even thought about motorcycles until I was 29. No reason, it just never came up. Then one day some coworkers were talking about selling one of their bikes, and it dwaned on me that I had no idea how to ride one.
So of course I had to learn!
I'm 34 now, and I thoroughly enjoy riding whenever possible. You're probably too late to become an AMA champion (those guys start when they're 4!), but there is no reason you can't learn and have a blast.

No way. That's a good age to learn. You understand traffic and such better than 14 year olds. You'll be fine. Besides it's never too late. I've know guys over 40 that got into it. As long as you're alive you can do what you want.

By no means. I bought my first motorcycle when I was in my early 40's. (I had never even ridden on one before that). I finally got my motorcycle endorsement on my drivers license when I was in my 60's. I am 70 now and still like riding my Goldwing.

You're never too old to start. I certainly recommend that you contact the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) and take their beginning rider course to get your license. They'll at least teach you the basics.

19 is a fine age. You should know a bit about driving and traffic now (assuming you got your license at 16), you're young and agile, your reflexes should be fine, and you'll still heal quickly.

19 is too old to learn something new?
I had 3 kids first.

Don't be silly. I got my license at 26 or something like that. You're never too old.

it's never to late to start riding, just know your limitations, and when you do get "older" thats what quads are for
