Enjoy the road. Learn to master it and your bike. Nothing like a long solo ride on nice quit road to clear you head and take ya away from the daily grind. Got my first street bike at 15 1/2 a 69 Sportster me and my dad rebuilt together. Been lovin the ride ever since.

Congrats. Don't get cocky on it. Learn the basics on turning and stopping. Don't take advice from friends and relatives, get professional training. my 2c

When I got my Harley, I knew everything! Don't tell me the in's and out's! I have ridden for years, mini bikes, dirt bikes, small street bikes and now my Harley, so skip the lectures! Well, when I took the Harley Riders Edge Course I realized how many BAD habits I had and needed to get rid of. The course was a lot of fun, I met some new people and made me more aware that we are invisible on our bikes. Good luck and have fun.
