Sounds like you're a noob to riding a motorcycle. I would honestly recommend for you to take a motorcycle safety course. You'll learn a lot of stuff you would never learn from just hopping on and riding. Good luck and be safe.

Im going to be signing up for the MSF course here soon, so that should be helpfull. This is my first bike, I have a scooter, but it is a CVT transmission and the handling is also very different. I do wear full gear tho besides pants (armor jacket, quality helmet, armor gloves) so I'm not out squiding around or anything.

My blinkers are on half the time I ride. I actually had people honk at me for riding so slowly around sandy corners this weekend. Sand sucks!
