I've never ridden alone. I always have someone with me whether it be my boyfriend or his mom/dad. I'm leery on riding my bike alone just in case something were to happen to me. I also never ride my bike during rush hour (to/from work) because of the lack of attention cagers pay to bikers. I suggest taking your bike on short trips (my first ride was 30 miles, lol) until you gain the confidence you're looking for. Relax and have fun. You only get better with practice and seat time!
My boyfriend usually leads when we're together but I try leading on the way back so he can tell me what I need to work on form wise. I am guilty of always being so stiff in my arms so I have been working on relaxing my arms and putting my weight on my legs.
Anyway - everyone is different! Have you taken a motorcycle safety course?
