Welcome & congrats. I sold my '96 Firebird Formula for my America. No harm practicing low speed (crawl) turns in your parking lot. Get comfortable manuvering the bike. Lots of beginners keel over going 5 mph. Use that rear brake only for low speed parking lot travel and putting the bars at a pretty good angle (figure 8's are good practice).

wow 08America we have a very similar story. Im taking a 4 day 10 hours each day beginners course late June. I'll have the bike sitting in my apartment parking lot for a week though, I dont think I will be able to handle not trying to ride it! Dont really want to make a dumb mistake and drop the bike though!
