The CB1100 is not an appropriate motorcycle as a first bike.
I'd recommend taking some courses, MSF, AMA, whatever is available. Some track days have a really, really good new rider school.
Many will give you pat on the back, happy to have yet another CB1100 rider in the club, and tell you you'll be fine, it's a nice mellow ride, just take it easy. No.
You're lucky your first incident was very, very minor.
Forgot to ask, you have a non-ABS bike? Or did it not work as expected?
