So I've been riding for three weeks now

Things are going well. I am up to 343 miles ridden on the CBR. Daily riding has been pretty good, no major issues. Yesterday I rode 120 miles with my GF on the back to see my parents and learned new things about keeping her from sliding down onto me (I scooted back away from the tank) , keeping weight off of my wrist at the expense of my inner thighs holding most of my weight, and how to keep my fingers from going numb.

I did almost lay the bike down in the parking garage, I was in 2nd and thought I was in first. Stalled the bike going slow and leaned to the left. I caught the bike before it touched down and had my gf hold the bike while I ran around to lift it up. That's probably my biggest struggle, knowing which gear I am in at all times, I wish my bike had a gear indicator, can i install one?

I got 39 mpg mostly hwy yesterday.

Thoughts, comments, and tips are welcome.
