To anyone out there. I just bought my first bike and could use any advise on riding tech. Took a motorcycle safety course which was great but it was also four years ago. Any suggestions would be helpful.  

My suggestion would be to take the course again, riding your new bike. Most crashes and close calls occur during the 5 or 6 months it takes to get your reflexes adjusted to the new bike. This period can be significantly reduced by taking your new bike through the course.

regards,

Thanks Joe. I can do that. they have a refresher course that I could take, which sounds like a good idea.
