Hey Greg, welcome back. It is a different world from the one we used to ride through. I am now 20 years past my accident and still riding but nowhere near the mileage I used to log.
My advice is to spend time in the parking lot doing stops and starts, U-turns, circles and 8's. Not to just get familiar with the new bike but more importantly get used to your new body.
I can't tell you how that feels for me but I can promise that it is. Not just reaction time either though that's real.
I don't remember the level of your injury, mine was at C5 so it impacted my equilibrium to a degree as well. So rapid side to side head movement is not good for me. That impacts the way I do the 180 degree scan. YMMV but be aware bro.
Again...Don't try to ride with your old body, you don't have that one anymore. Get to know your new body. Have fun bro.
