advice hey? hmmm...

the first 50 or so miles on those tires, dont push em! they bite back

wheelies look like fun but you cant steer or otherwise control the bike on the back tire

dont brake while cornering, if youre uncomfortable with a turn slow down before hand

mix the front and back brake while riding, dont use all front or back. a happy medium will provide ample stopping power and balance

when balancing the bike at low speeds, dont overcompensate. huge motions back and forth of the front tire trying to keep straight isnt going to help you. if youre not sure of the balance, put a foot down or both if youre unsure, until you get a handle on the balance. balancing the bike at low speeds is done best with small, smooth movement. tiny adjustments of the steering angle will keep the bike up. panicking will land you in the dirt.

always watch intersections before you get to them, someone may look eager to run a red, or yellow, in either case you dont want to rush into an intersection.

people are stupid, everyone else is trying to kill you at all times. they want you dead, smeared on the pavement. dont give them the satisfaction, ride defensive, and dont stay beside or too near to any vehicles for any longer than you have to. keep as many spaces open to run to as you can, you never know when or where the next attempt on your life is coming from.

other than that, respect the machine, ride smart and youll be fine.
