Better to learn now than go through life being too afraid to pursue your ambitions because of some stupid notion that what random people think of you matters.
"Hahaha, are you learning to ride a bike?? You gotta be at LEAST 18 man hahha" "Are you saying that you'd rather I never learnt how to ride a bike?" "Well.... no... I was just saying, like... it's kind of stupid that you don't know how to ride a bike at 18..." "Well, I'm trying to rectify that situation, aren't I? Yes? Yes. Any more gems of intelligence you'd like to share with the world? No? Hm."
And then get your brother to ****-slap him, and hand him a giant ice cream cone.

Sure you're going to rectify the situation, but that doesn't make it any less stupid.
And the fact that he wants to ride a motorcycle after 18 years of not riding a bike, that's just foolish. He's probably going to kill himself.
That is the point of learning to ride a bike. Two thumbs up for the guy trying. Tell him not to worry about what people like Teflon think, as they barely think at all.
You are being overly hostile, unreasonable, intolerant, and morally disgusting.
Obscure analogy, but maybe you also think that people who never learnt to read should just give up their dreams, hopes, wants, and ambitions, just so you can laugh at them, thinking you are so superior because of their vulnerabilities.
God damn it, and god damn you. Realise what a tool you are being, grow up, and become a better person for it.
Edit: I also seem to recall you being a troll and troublemaker in another thread. So that's it, no more ranting about you. Any post you make will be ignored, unless I have to combat your contributions 'impersonally', as I am not going to lower myself to throwing bricks from the platform I'm standing on.
[Hey, as if i didn't just make up a new saying there]
Its worth learning, and just keep practising. Kids can learn it in... hey, i dont actually know how long. Couldnt be too long
Tell him to just keep trying, it'll come to him faster than kids.
What use are ambitions if you don't motivate yourself to go and pursue them <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
So tell him to go out and start riding a bike now, screw how long it takes... if it takes 10 months, is it any worse than 10 hours? If that's going to stop him, or be any cause for concern, then thats a bigger problem than not knowing how to ride a bike <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Right, for the love of god dont let him get a big bike, I had a friend who won the lottery, 25 grand. Buys the most fantastic Harley Fatboy youve ever seen, used. Hes never been on anything bigger than a dirtbike, in two weeks hes totalled the bike and himself, paralyzed below the neck. Make him start slow.
A word of advice : Do not let them start out slow. It may seem overwhelming to just takeoff if you don't know how to ride but thats what you have to go. If you try and go slow to start off you WILL fall.

[Hey, as if i didn't just make up a new saying there]
His main concern is how many hours/days/weeks will it take him to learn how to ride a bike.
that isnt the issue
Its worth learning, and just keep practising. Kids can learn it in... hey, i dont actually know how long. Couldnt be too long
