Theres a few ways you could do this but depends on what else you want it to do.

My advice would be to use an object position event (as long as you dont want the bike interacting with the car ie riding on it while it "moves") and animate it to follow the rider based on either the riders velocity or steady speed with area triggers placed in the correct locations.

As for the vids, you should watch them all as they are a great help when your learning the editor but if you havent got the time id go for

glueing grouping and favourites
triggers and impulses
datasources
object position events

you may need more but this should get you started

oh and take a look at the latest pro tip vid optimization before you start building as well as you can pre empt some of the problems you may run into

Not 100% sure what your desired effect is, but here's one way to do it

ope a dummy to the bikes location then physics joint to that the object you want to follow at some distance, mess with the joint settings so it springs/glides/slides or what ever feels right, if your connecting to a glue group mess with the glue pivot, if you bring it forward you could make the object skid around corners.
