When I had my first bike, I rode that thing every single day around my neighborhood and sometimes even to work, no license, no MSF. It was stupid and foolish, but if I was in the situation again, I would probably do the same thing, again. Like you said, there's no way to just sit there and wait and wait without getting on the thing.
Take the class as soon as you can, and until then, if you really can't help yourself, keep getting yourself familiar with the clutch/throttle and stuff like that. Do it in WIDE OPEN UNPOPULATED parking lots or barren local roads; don't start trying to deal with traffic and pedestrians 'cause then all these guys will be proven right. And really, they are right, but its unrealistic to think people like us have any ounce of self control when theres a sweet bike in front of us.
Just be aware that, although you may think you're doing great, whenever you fainlly do get to the MSF course, you may find out you've been cementing terrible habits and it will be difficult to start fresh again.
