You'll soon find that you shift up/down depending on what rpm you're in, so the gear you're in won't really matter. The only times it will is when you try to shift to 7th (that'll stop after awhile too) and when you're looking for first at a stop. Shifting into first will give a clunk and won't downshift any further even if you tried.
Congrats on your first ride alone 
I always look forward to riding to and from work everyday. |
I totally agree. Knowing what gear you are in will become second nature in no time. It's all about riding and getting to know your bike. You will learn ALL kinds of things the more you ride. I know every little sound, detail, etc about my bike when I'm out on him. (Yep, it's a him LoL) It's just about time and experience. KEEP RIDING! You got this!!
