I'd just like to add please, please, please wear your helmet.
2 years ago I lost my best friend of nearly 30 years because his Sportster dropped out from underneath him in a curve and he ended up head-first into a mailbox pole. The road wasn't wet, there wasn't any gravel, speed wasn't a factor... it just happened. He'd been riding for half his life so it wasn't lack of experience that killed him.
You may think it's cool to ride with the wind in your hair, but the people who love you will appreciate you more for sticking around than for you being "cool".
