Ever take a riding class? Not trying to be a dick but it makes all the difference in the world. About 15 years ago I was riding a super rare Ducati F1 and went down pretty hard. I caught a plastic bottle under my rear tire when I hit the rear brake. It felt like I was rear ended. I slid for 30 feet with no gear. OUCH!!

After I wisened up and took a class and got my license. I was blown away at what I didn't know and what after I was able to do with the bike. Scary that I actually thought I knew what I was doing before. Seeing the guys riding full dressers navigating the cones at low speeds in the advanced class was an eye opener.

Be smart get educated and wear gear!!
I have never taken a class. I have thought about it. Cost was a factor for me. But now I am seriously considering.
