I had a thread just like this “getting aclimated” and was given some great advice here!
Roommate and I still do a lot of parking lot practice- and rarely do we go straight out to the streets- usually we go through the condo for a ‘warm up’ lap… practice braking right and left hand turns- then we hit the streets.
Someone also said they had a friend/family member follow them around. My first trip out I was followed – horribly embarrassing- I was so excited to take my bike to get fuel (a whole 1/2 mile down a small two lane road- moderately travelled- one left turn and then a reallly back road- and one right turn)
got there safely and effectively- and then couldn’t get the fuel tank opened. MORTIFIED! lol
Since then I had one or two more main trips where I was followed- one big one to get inspected and that was on a major through way through town) HA HA about a 10 mile trip- got there safe and sound and then almost dropped her when I didn’t get the kickstand down and I thought I had. HA.
It doesn’t change anything but it certainly gives you more confidence- and if its someone who rides they can give you pointers for when you get back.
Then keep practicing in the parking lot- my neighbor w/ a duc still pokes fun of me for still practicing- but to me its safer and I feel more comfortable about it- always trying to improve my skills.
Good luck!
