ride your ride! don't push yourself further than your comfortable, especially if your riding with more experienced people. I hung in the back of packs for a while and still do to this day with some other riders. Im ok with that! Im out there to ride and enjoy the experience. No need to race everywhere! skill will come with seat time...just be patient. I just read that some kid died 30 minutes after getting his endorsement... He WASN'T riding his ride!

no clue about the deal..
but buy gear and stay out of traffic. traffic sucks, people drive like shit, you get bored very fast riding very slow behind packs of cars doing 35 in a 45. it leads to doing shit that will probably get you hurt.
everyone drops their first bike, not all crash, but like 99.9% drop it in some way. try not to.
bikes stop great, till you need them too, then they stop like shit. always leave more than you think you would need if a car pulls in front of you, cause it still won't be enough.
lay off the back brake, it will cause you to crash more often than not in that stopping like shit situation. i think everyone as heard someone say they laid the bike down to avoid hitting a car full on. its a lie, they had no idea what happened, crashed their bike and slid into the car. leave more room and avoid car.
wet riding is a different world, and a whole different set up rules.
take pics, post here.

Hey where are you located? I'll make a copy of the Twist of the Wrist Dvd's it's pretty much a tutorial for general riding. While it covers alot of track affairs they basically all can be used on the street. It'll tell you what to do and how to do it.
