Took me about 2 months to become comfortable on the bike to when i wasnt nervous being on it. YOu should always be aware but it took that long before i felt good about being on it. After that, it was golden.

 

I don't know if you have taken the MSF class yet or not. But if you haven't, then take the MSF class first before you do anything. If you have already taken the MSF, then spend alot of time in parking lots. As one of our local MSF instructors says, once you pass the MSF class you get a license to practice in parking lots. Not to go hit the streets.
