you drive anything that you are the direct and principle controller of and you ride anything that allows you to be a passenger


This, with a couple of caveats. For motorcycles/bicycles it is very common in colloquial speech to use the term ride either way. That said, drive is still (for motorcycles anyway) technically correct for the principal operator. You can use either one depending on context/social setting.

Also, for boats the proper nautical term for the operator is pilot/piloting.
