Michele look here: Sixty Second Lessons with Captain Crash.. This are great video tutorial on basic riding skills.

I find it interesting that you choose not to read up on riding techniques. 
A suggestion: Proficient Motorcycle Riding by Dave Hough is one of the best books written on riding well and safely. I must have read it 15 times. Highly recommended. Get it at the library.
