RE: First time Harley rider
Welcome from Wisconsin, the birthplace if you will.
Advice? Keep the dirty side down. I found that driving around quiet subdivisions helped me get used to the turn signals, stopping as often as possible and restarting.
Upshifting with the heel was a big change for me from my metric days, but I have adapted.

Welcome from Salem, Oregon- Practice, Practice, Practice, you can never get enough. Look into purchasing Ride Like A Pro IV http://www.ridelikeapro.com/- video's like this will help you improve your riding skills quickly. Surviving The Mean Streets is also a good one, available through the same organization. Good Luck...stay safe!
