Welcome and congrats on your new ride! Over time you will feel much more comfortable on the bike, you just need to get used to all the moving weight.

Welcome to KR!
~don't only use the front brake when turning! (I learned that the hard way)
~don't wear over sized gloves! (when braking they tend to hit the gas..)
~Try to relax, as previous poster noted; Anxiety can damper judgment.

Welcome, and don't worry if you drop it, that's why you got a Kat, it can take it.
Happens to everyone sooner or later anyway and if you take good care of it i'm sure it'll forgive you in the end

Welcome to KR! They're a great bunch here and you'll find not only lots of support, but lots of advice and tips on everything from tweaking your bike, to tattoos! (Sorry Ed!).
I'm with lots of other people here: The best way to boost confidence is to pay for some training. If the school lends you the bikes (like some do here) you don't have to worry about dropping the bike while you learn. Later training on your bike will help you safely extend your limits on the bike and build your confidence.
Enjoy!High-velocity Geek

Gracias Amigos.
I actually rode friday & my boyfriend was shocked, as well was I. It was so much fun.
I rode around the parking lot for 2 hours while he watched. I didn't want to stop.
