Better sort of late than never! :D
I always follow the rules.
The only exception to the rule occurs when I make an exception to the rule not to make an exception to the rule and that only occurs under exceptional circumstances.

Well, that's a heavy bike for a first bike. Probably a low CoG, which should help. Bit of unsolicited advice? Put engine guards (crash bars, etc, there's several names for 'em...) on it if it doesn't already have them. Will protect it if you drop it, and also make it easier to pick back up - it won't go all the way over flat on it's side.

Welcome to TMW and good luck with the bike.
