Thanks all for your suggestions. When I got on the road what makes me nervous is the combination of having to think about where to go, think about all the road signs and think about gears, and meanwhile be aware of other cars, people, foxes etc. It's just too much, so if someone rides in front of me, at least I don't have to think about where I'm going which makes it easier. When I get more confident then I can go in front, and someone behind me will just make me feel safer. I have tried other motorcycle forums, thanks, and I've tried searching for users, but can't find - BikerMooFromMars..?
