Welcome from the other end of the Isles.

Can't help you with maintenance much. Riding? There are others with vastly more experience than myself, who will shortly no doubt chip in with all the advice you could hope for, so all I will say is; keep looking around you all the time and assume every other vehicle you see has failed to spot you until you know for sure that they have. And, while it's all fairly new to you, don't even think about satnavs and bluetooth headsets and music etc. Get your riding sorted before you worry about distractions like that.
