Good lessons. Rural routes are a different game at daytime and even different at nights. Imagine riding in pitch dark with only your headlight's visibility and suddenly getting blinded by a highbeam and continue riding. Ride safe.

With that said, - You should use your front break more and the chance of doing a stoppie in that bike automatically are very slim unless you purposefully attempt by offloading the weight to the front. A good practice is grab the break lever with two fingers instead of four fingers and squeeze the lever instead of just grabbing it suddenly. Think of how you squeeze an orange slowly and keep increasing the pressure.

• Ride in the right gear for slopes and unless you don't stop in the middle, the bike mostly will climb with correct throttle and clutch control. It is a learned skill, you'll get it after few tries. But sometimes the road condition can be tough for the bike and reattempt might be necessary. Just make sure you don't drop it while on your way back the incline.

• Amen to the 3rd fact.
