Tips for a novice: 
1. Get a light bike, it`s easier to ride, learn on, park, pick up.
2. Wear a helmet and cover as much of the skin that`s left over as you can.
3. Avoid thinking like the author of the previous letter.
4. Use one of those headlight-pulsing units.
5. Remember you`re always in danger, especially from oncoming traffic.
   Assume no 4-wheel drivers see you, and always have an out.

Good luck.

P.S. I also think that 45mph is the optimum speed for motorcycling--at least
on my BMW R60/7.
