Default New Rider - 1st CBR

Funny story,as everyone says - each person has their bike. For instance, my roommate has his 07 R6 which fits him perfect, my Dad on the other hand has his 05 C90 Boulevard...

I on the hand, now have me a 2000 CBR600 F4... Saw it at a local cycle center, hopped on to see how it felt and it was PERFECT. Now being this is my first bike, I'm buying it with 12k miles on it for 4500 out the door with free helmet, jacket, gloves, and frame sliders thrown in. I'm beyond excited, today was 70+ here in Connecticut and all my friends went out for a ride!

I'll post pictures once I get it! Any tips for a newbie rider? Ride safe! Have fun!
