Hi mate.
Do you have a licence for riding a bike? And what bike where you thinking of riding?
If you have been driving a car for years i really would not bother getting hazard awareness dvd as you should be well versed in spotting hazards from driving in the car. (i hope) lol
Just be alert, make your self visible and heard....
Practice emergency stops and swerves in a car park on your new machine so if a bonehead pulls out on ya then you will be ok.
There is a button on a motorbike called a horn... use that.
headlights on.
And best of all practice makes perfect.
Been riding all weathers day in day out and have not come of yet (touch wood) cbr1000rr, xj600,xj900, cbr600rr, xl650, cbr125, bandit 650, bombadier 250, fzr600.. Well you name it i have proberbly road it.
