Congrats, and remember we are all learning constantly.
On not being a commuter, I suggest you do it regularly, a few times a month. There's nothing like learning the roads and the ways of other users than commuting; you're learning technical aspects all the time (filtering, clutch control, braking distance, slow-speed maneouvring, general awareness, road conditions, corners, junctions etc), keeping your skills sharp, and learning about your bike and its capabilities.
