Congrats on the new ride! You didn't say how long you've been riding...
If you are new to bikes, or at least to the touring class of bikes, I would recomend that you buy the Ride Like A Pro 5 DVD and practice the lessons in a parking lot. The lesson on slow speed maneuvering is worth the price of the DVD alone.
