take an msf course. you'll learn alot, and get a break on your insurance.

have fun, take it slow, don't feel like you ever have anything to prove to anyone... that'll get you introuble quick.

once you get comfortable, go to an open track day if you can. you'll learn more in one day on the track than you will in years of street riding. just beware... track time is addictive, just ask my wallet.
