Yeah, there is a lot you ought to work on learning as far as etiquette goes. Mainly applies to riding in groups or just dealing with traffic. You are going to hate cagers, get used to it 
You'll notice people using their left or right legs to signal lane changes. A hand palm tapping on top of a helmet signals cops nearby. Point to your gas tank when you need gas, point to your tummy when your hungry. There is a whole lot to learn. When riding in groups though, this is important. Remeber there are 3 parts to a lane. Left side, middle and right side. If you are in the right lane, right section, and the group moves to the left lane, make sure you move to the right section of the left lane. Make sense? It will come, but its a never ending learning process. Something I just became accustomed to which makes all the difference in the world. When takign a turn, do not stiffen your elbow and turn all lazily. Make sure you keep your elbows bent always. Ok, enough here, im sure others will chime in

The first thing your gonna want to do is get your wheelies and stoppies down. The best place for that is in heavy traffic so everyone can see you.

It has a tooth taken out in the rear, adjustable shocks, K&N air filter, it's lowered, and I think that's it. It's a good bike. Im already getting used to it. Hell I even drove it to work today.
Is there any bike etticate that I need to know? Just to be courteous.
Thanks everyone, and I hope to see you guys around soon.

sounds like a nice first bike. you my want to think about puting it back to stock hight it you end up doing much corners but thats easy to do.
as for etticate its kinda its own little world over here. just think of squids as the ricers of the bike world. always trying to stunt and never wearing gear.
like said before, wear all the gear all the time. even when hot as fuck. because shit does seem to happen fast and everyone crashes. but as i know your car was faster than this bike you have a leg up on most new riders.
read everything you can about how to ride and its a blast.(as cliff said earlier, what you do with your off arm is everything) we're heading north tomorrow am. pm me if you want to meet up
