Getting more comfortable riding. I never would have dreamed it could feel this natural when I started.

Had my Ninja just a month now, and have only been riding motorcycles in general since March. I really hope that with time and practice I will become more comfortable with:
1) riding in rain and strong wind
2) riding on highways 55 mph+
3) riding for long periods of time at highway speeds (to go on a trip, for example)
4) riding in dense city traffic on streets (this one I actually do most days on my commutes to and from work, but I would be lying if I said I'm truly "comfortable")
5) tight corners, tight U-turns
6) riding at night
This summer I want to take a road trip up to northern Minnesota from where I live in St. Paul. My planned destination is about 4 hours by interstate, but I will be seeking some back roads and smaller highways. I hope I can do this!
