Welcome to the world of motorcycling as well as the forum.
Like already suggested check into a safety course. You will learn alot there.
Get aquainted with your bike, as in knowing where everything is located as well as how to manuver it under any conditions you think you will be riding in.
Your going to love this bike and the freedom that comes with it. I gurarntee you it will put a smile a mile wide upon your face if it hasn't already.
Don't be afraid to ask questions as this forum is full of some highly intelligent people that can help you with your questions.
Post a pic if you have one. Take care and enjoy..
