As an employer, part of my impression of you would be appearance-related. I would not care that you ride motorcycles, but I would care if you looked unkept and/or unprofessional at the interview. I suggest saving the riding for another day.
Semi-related: There have been 2 or 3 occasions where I had appointments with clients at their locations on days when I wanted to ride my motorcycle. In each case, I contacted the client beforehand and simply explained the situation and asked them if they objected to me being dressed casually for the meeting. I never had anyone object. However, I also knew those clients pretty well. When I'm in doubt about how the client may perceive this, I err on the side of looking more professional--so no bike and (at least) workday casual.
