My only two words of advise on street riding:
1) Gear all the time. Buy good gear and wear it
2) Keep your head on a swivel. Minnesota drivers do not pay attention and they are even worse around motorcycles.

Have fun.

Turn 1 crash? Yikes, that gives me shudders just thinking about how ugly that could be.
Yeah, as far as driving around with the tards in the city, your right, you have to be the one paying attention. Don't let not being seen surprise you, then when you have to take the shoulder or yellow line or pile on the brakes you already had a plan.
