Are you sure it's a ridable motorcycle, and not just a static prop?

A vehicle that is a motorcycle, or a car, or a boat, or whatever, will usually have a way to 'sit' in the driver's seat or passenger positions. Often there is a visible pose ball to sit on, just like a scripted chair.

Other types of vehicles require you to 'wear' them from inventory, and they attach to your avatar. A lot of ridable horses work that way.

Hello Joslynn. If you have the moto in your inventory usually you don't wear it. You rezz it. Some motos are accessible for everyone, some others only for the owner. If you are the owner, right click on it and Ride. If not normally you can't (you get a message usually in local informs you that you are not the owner) except of the owner opens permissions for you or for members of a group, insomuch the script includes this feature. In both cases don't forget to turn off your AO.

There are two types of motorcycles (well three if you count props) in SL. You can WEAR it or REZ it and then sit on it. In order to rez it you will need a spot. I suggest looking up The Mother Road which is not only lovely but has a rez area at the landing point. So you can rez your bike and then drive for a little ways. There are other spots you can drive your bike, too of course. Many want you to join a group in order to do so.

 

Have fun.
