OMG I couldn't be more excited to be sitting in the driver's seat finally!!
Hey I'm a newbie rider and new to the site too. I already got my M2, i'm not sure why wouldn't just hop on the bike in an empty parking lot and take it step by step slowly I think it can make the progress in the course easier, that was the case for me anyway I took my bike that I bought recently to an empty big church parking lot and rode it few days. it was lots of fun and when I took the course everything went very smooth and I notice couple of people that never set on the bike before had a little more difficult time to catch up. so if you feel comfortable just go with a safe fellow experience rider and practice a bit, believe it or not that little bit practice can make the progress much easier in the course.

cheers, ride safe
