awesome glad your having fun, the weather is really starting to get nice... but just take your time, that is the key, don't let your ego or your friends make you think your ready for harder riding than you really are... my entire first season i rode like a bitch, i couldn't care less if guys on slower bikes passed me or what, even if i thought i was good enough to take a certain turn at X mph or whatever i would take it a speed i know i could and gradually go faster, or go the same speed but try and do it more comfortably and with more control, also a good thing to do is only ride hard on roads you know like the back of your hand, not all turns marked 30mph are the same... but i rode very conservatively my first season, second i started stepping it up but only in areas and amounts i was comfortable with, i would still consider myself conservative now and credit it to why i haven't wrecked(well once, but it was not my fault what so ever) and i haven't had but maybe 2 close calls if even any at all... so ride safe, get the fundamentals down and you'll have the most fun you can and find its not dangerous at all when you practice controlled riding
