  Thanks alsflhr, I brought my bike home Thursday and have taken it out every day since. I was so scared the first time out of the driveway, and then after about an hour I got the "I was in control" of it feeling your talking about. I have been practicing in a parking lot, then got bored and went all over town on the back roads. Today I went with a friend and we went further and faster than I ever have and my confidence is 100% better than it was. Now I just need to work on not stalling at stop signs.,. overall though I'm doing pretty well and I am so glad I decided to start riding.

  I spend a lot of time in the Burrillville/Glocester area, mostly northern RI.

  Thanks everyone for the input, I'm having it trailored to my house and there is a huge parking lot down the street that's always empty(it's only used by the Knights of Columbus for meetings once a week) so I'll have a great spot to practice basic stuff from the safety course I'm in. And the cemetery tip, yes...sounds a bit morbid but there's also one less than a mile away I can go to. I am sooooo so excited, I'm 24 and I think this has got to be the most exciting thing I've ever done.  Any advice for going up and down hills? I live in the middle of nowhere in the stix, and there are big hills up and down everywhere.
