Also, learn how to ride without taking your feet off the pegs It's funny how I've taught myself how to keep my feet on the pegs even when way out of shape and almost crashing. IMHO it improves your balance and makes you a better rider in the long run.
I'll agree with that. Stand up, keep feet on pegs. It's a mantra to recite whilst riding.
