Don't bother about what your friends think. Just ride at a speed you feel comfortable, concentrate on the road, and remember all the lessons you've read about handling turns, navigating traffic, etc etc.
If you have a friend with a dirt bike I think that's a great to prepare for the street. I was much more confident after a friend of mine took me dirt riding a few times. Let's you practice without all the street danger/pressure. |
I was just about to add that.
Dirt bikes are great learning tools. Lots of constant corrections needed to keep things in-check and the consequences are less severe (most of the time) when you step over the line.
