Congrats Sean!

If you are gonna ride it around in parking lots, I have one peice of advice to help with any potential slow speed off's.

If your turning in a small area, 1st gear slow around cars and such, just use the back brake, don't touch the front in the carpark. My experience has shown me that if your turning the bike and you nip the front brake too hard, the bike can dive in and fall over.

If you try to do a small figure of 8 on the bike with front brake, then try with just back brake (riding the back brake) I am sure you'll agree it's easier on the back and you can turn tighter too. That will go along way to keeping you upright in the car park.

Good luck with your bike and your 3 day course. Don't let that be the end of your schooling and enjoy.

Best of luck mate!
