Sabrina,
Congrats on the new bike! As for advice, I have been racing motorcycles for a
little over 30 years and I still do not have a street license, I just don't feel
safe riding on the road! And that brings me to my point. Most of the people
out there driving cars, are half asleep or thinking about anything but what they
are doing. Practice, practice practice, before you go out on the roads. Be
very aware, even behind you.
Have fun, bikes are a hoot!

Sabrina,
If you have not already, take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation beginners rider course.
I took one in Illinois years ago when I was in college. Look them up on
the web. Most, if not all, states allow graduation from these courses to substitute
for the riding exam at the BMV station.
Good luck and use a good helmet and riding gear.

Sabrina,
As others have indicated -- You are invisible
The first bit of rain after a dry spell -- The roads can
be extremely slippery in the center of the lane where your bike tracks and
the oil and dust collect
Your motorcycle can stop shorter than a car -- So be
aware of tailgators

My two cents' worth:
I don't ride a motorcycle but I do ride a bicycle every day to and
from work, rain and shine, daytime or dark.
Based on that (harrowing) experience, I will posit that, if a
motorcycle safety course is available in your area, you should take
it.

Craig-
After staring at the wings in my basement, a wing mount is still
possible because I haven't riveted my fiberglass tips yet. After running a
whiskey compass around my airframe I agree, you probably can't find a better
location. Good idea- thanks.

Just be aware of possible interference from the wires to the strobe (if you
have any).
The wings of my first XL were also closed when I bought it. The tip was
accessible but I was worried about retaining the wires running back to the
wing root through the lightning holes. I thought about clamping some
lightweight tube at both ends (and possibly in the middle through an
inspection hole) but never implemented the idea. Have you thought of a
solution?
