|  First Rides
Within a very short time I'll be purchasing my first bike. I felt I did well during the MSF course but now I'll be on my own without an instructor to give advice. Can any of the more experienced riders of this forum remember their first rides and possibly give me any advice on how to get started? The dealer has a large parking lot and said he will allow me to ride there at the time of the purchase, reviewing the bike from top to bottom. I then plan on having the bike delivered to my home. From there I thought I would ride in the neighborhood which is fairly rural practicing some of the drills I performed during the class. I wonder what the neighbors are going to think when I set up cones? (only kidding!) Then I thought that I would venture out further from home and into more traffic as my skills and confidence on this bike improves. Are there any other secrets to developing my skills that I'm missing? Thanks for any advice.
