DO NOT RIDE BEYOND YOUR LIMITS!! And know what your limits are.
I did the same thing. My Lo was my first scoot. I did the parking lot thing a good bit to work on slow speed maneuvers and handling......and I still do from time to time. And the first few rides I did were not long rides at all, maybe 30 miles or so on roads that I felt comfortable on.
Don't let other motorists control your riding. Its your *** and your life. If they don't like your pace, they can pass you. Otherwise, they just need to settle down cause it won't be long and you'll be the one riding there *** and giving them the finger to get the hell out of your way!
Congrats on the bike. And just remember, the bike is the down-payment on the accessories. So you better put Drew's number in your speed dial list!

Dr V-Twin. Sponsor here on the site. And a frequent member....he's always around here somewhere.
If I ever want anything for my sled, I go to him first. If he can get it, its always at a lower price. If he can't get it, I go elsewhere.

I took my bike out today for the first time...Just some simple neighborhood cruising up and down the block. Second ride, took it to the gas station about a mile away. Third ride, took it a little further. THIS BIKE IS AWESOME!!! I think I need to blow off work the rest of the week and just ride. I really learned one thing today. I HATE GETTING OFF OF MY BIKE.
Going to take the riders class in a couple of weeks just to be safe. But I must admit. I havent smiled this much in a long effing time! I feel good.
