Thanks to all of you for your input.
I ended up bringing the bike into the shop which I did get get charged quite a bit.
New Front Tire (to pass inspection)
NYS Inspection
Oil Change (while its there)
Carbs Cleaned
Spark Plugs
and apparently my gas tank had some sorta putty inside of it, which was clogging up the carbs hence why it wasn't starting right or idling.

I picked up the bike today, and she started right up, and the idle was smoother and more stable than ever. I decided to give it a go and ride the bike at least to my parents house, my buddy following in his Subaru, but when I got home she went right in the garage.
Combination of still being shook up after downing her, and a sudden hit on allergies throwing off my balance with a congested head and chest just made me think, I gotta start over slowly and get my comfort back.

I'd really like to know, how did you guys get over being shook up and clear your head to jump back on and ride? Granted I've just started and have less than 200 miles logged on the bike.

I'm just reminded of the feeling I had after being rear-ended and being afraid to drive and get hit again by someone, even though it wasn't my fault.

Thanks alot for your input.

hah, never mind, got on the bike today and rode it just fine, even had to ride through some rain at the last 1/4 mile home. Still have much experience to gain, but definitely back on the saddle.

I got back on when I got hit the third day of owning my Kat first day riding it by a one legged vet. Got back up 8 days later when I took a long corner too fast about 30 when it was wet out, in a ****ed off mood and night time. Learned a lot from that one. You just gotta take it one day at a time. I've practiced more in the past couple days then I have ever, I think I've clocked around 200 miles just around town different corners different conditions.

Always aim to be better each day and learn something.

Congrats on getting it back up and running. Take it at your own pace, only you can say when you are ready. Start around the block or in a parking lot or whatever. Big open parking lots are good because you can set up a little track for yourself and practice.
