Welcome from Christchurch New Zealand.
Updated with pictures.
As others have said ride at your own pace.
@Tal and I went for a ride a few weeks back with Tal's mate Steve who had just bought a Triumph Storm had been a sports bike rider.
Well I went flying down the road and around corners at a good speed and not touching the brakes after about 5 miles Steve was along way back so I slowed down and Tal went off like a cut cat down the road. I kept the gap to Steve at about ¼ mile and a slower speed.
We regrouped and cruised back to Steve's turn off and stopped for a chat.
Steve could not believe how fast we went through the corners on such big bikes staying in our lanes and how not much braking was done by both of us.
He's was very surprised going into the first couple of corners how much speed we carried into and out of them as he realized he was not able to carry that much speed and resulted in him riding at his own pace.
So be very careful following experienced rides into corners and curves they will make it look easy and the Rocket is a heavy beast and needs to respected at all times.
Enjoy your new to you bike and enjoy riding.
The only way to learn is to spend time riding the more the better.
And never let anyone push you to faster than you feel confident doing.
Better to arrive ten minutes behind everyone else than not arrive at all.
