Thank you guys for the helpful advice. I do intend to take the safety course ASAP. I have finals coming up so my weekends are filled with studying. I am reading all of my handbooks concerning safety repeatedly to pass the time as I wait to be reunited with my new pride and joy and look forward to learning to ride safely from qualified instructors so that I can feel confident in at least a solid exposure to potentially life saving strategies as I slowly gain the skill to fully practice them on my new bike. Thanks again for the replies and the safety first attitude of this forum is very comforting and refreshing compared to some of the social scenes where I live.
