wait, you painted the wind screen? why?
when you lay on the tank to accelerate on a straight line you should look through it.
i never wear think long socks, i know that i should wear something over my ankle but i can't stand boots, so i just wear a light sneakers that won't fall off easily. helmet, gloves, jacket, and jeans are on me all the time.
btw you still didn't say how long you were riding it with no license lol
I rode for over a month on my permit, so by the time i got my license i was very comfortable on it and already had experience riding on highway, public roads, and at a high speed in general.
