Looks like @slowstang and @RustySocket pretty well have it covered, take an MSF course, buy a <600cc bike for your first season and remember you have a cloak of invisibility, no one can see you so your arse is in your own hands.

In many states, if you pass the MSF course you don't have to take a riding test at the DMV, another benefit of taking the course. If you can't find one directly, you might try your local Harley dealer. In Georgia just about all of them offer MSF sanctioned courses, and you don't have to buy a Harley.

I've been riding for over 40 years, and I go back and take the MSF course (or one of their advanced courses) about once every five years. It keeps you from developing bad habits. I always do it if I go a couple of years between bikes.
