ORIGINAL: mayday
I personally think that being a bit nervous is ok....helps me stay aware. Its not a "I feel like I'm going to fly off this thing" nervous....just that there's a lot going on around me so stay sharp.

BTW, I've been riding and racing dirt for 35 years, I p/u my first street ride next week............I've takin the MSF course, have about 3-5 hours of street riding in that 35 yrs................. I'M NERVOUS AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENJOY and ride DEFENSIVELY
