I did not know you hadn't taken the MSF course yet.
Back when I started to ride (mid 1980's) there was no MSF course (well there was it just wasn't popular yet and wasn't required).
When my daughter wanted to learn to ride I signed her up for a course last summer, then I found our Harley Davidson did a free course for veterans and active duty military. So I signed up for one as well. I thought it would be a good way for me to know what she had been taught so I could reinforce the learning.
I have to say even with my years of riding and reading motorcycle magazine articles I learned a lot in the class. Especially low speed handling techniques.
I really suggest you slow down, crawl before you walk and wait for your commuting until after you take the class.
