Welcome to the forum. I think most of us on here are quite a few years older but we all have one thing in common: motorcycles = fun. I'm sure I will not be the first to say this, but take your time, practice and try to resist the urge to push the envelope. You have a lot of years ahead of you and you'll enjoy them a lot more with all of your parts working. I think your folks are both brave and have the right idea. Ask them to buy you a copy of Proficient Motorcycling (David Hough).

And enjoy your new bike!
