I'm no expert rider, but after a long winter I found it helpful to push my limits so I could remember what i'm capable of.  Just gotta say **** it and ride hard....but not too hard.  Thin line.

Go practice your emergency braking and swerving in a parking lot somewhere. In the MSF drill the instructor stood behind a  cone and pointed in a random direction so you couldn't be too prepared to swerve. It was a decent drill.

No one sees you. Get over it.

Flogging it randomly when out of practice will teach you how to repair motorcycles  Cheesy

Just get on and ride. I got my bike on the road this past Saturday after not riding it for almost 3 year, I have about 600 miles on since then. Granted my ass hurts and I can't really sit up straight right away, but its all good. Be safe and enjoy. 620 are enjoyable.
