Any suggestions from any seasoned riders out there would be helpful. Also, when I bought the bike, the guy had chrome front foot pegs on it and gave me the stock ones to put back on because my feet where sliding off while I was cruising. Help on how to install these footpegs would be great. Thanks.

As far as the slow speed riding take the MSF BRC (Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Riders Course). The whole course is slow speed control. I took it at the Horry Georgetown Technical College so I'm sure it's offered up by you in Rock Hill. It's well worth the money. If you pass you don't have to take the SC DMV road test...they accept the BRC road test. You do have to have your learners permit before you take the BRC. In the interim my suggestion is keep your head up and look where you want to go. Do not look down or right in front of you. The old saying is Look Down, Fall Down.
