If its your first bike and first time riding, it wa sboudn to happen, luckily you're still upright... learn from it, fix it, and ride safer.

You can still learn about braking/throttle control, being comfortable when the bike is getting squirrely, etc. Plus, the dirt bikes don't smash into a million pieces when you drop them and it's fun. And yes a superbike class is another great option. Glad he's okay!!!

+1 for a track day/superbike class. I BY FAR learned more from 1 track day than I did during my licensing class |

Glad to hear that you are ok and just your pride got bruised.
Something no one has mentioned yet but it your helmet hit the ground, throw it away and get a new one. Even dropping it will degrade the integrity of it and the last thing you want to gamble on it your head. Also, the worst time to ride is right when it starts raining and right after it quits. All the oil and **** in the blacktop just settles on the top and creates for an ice rink.
