    Congrats! Make sure you keep the practices up that you learned in MSF to help you along with your riding progress.

    When you get the bike, spend a fair bit of time in the parking lot learning how it behaves at low speed, and how to control it there. I have a heavier, more powerful bike, and it behaves very different at low speed from the bikes in class. One very hard thing to get through my head was that while I could turn in a very tight space, I had to go faster to do it. The 20 foot box for u-turns is bigger than I need, but the slow creep they taught us in class can’t turn in that space.
