Welcome Glitch. You have one of the best first bikes ever made. And the green paint and pinstriping on your bike is my favorite.
While you are sorting out the bike please keep a few safety issues in mind. The tires are likely in need of replacement due to age. Any tire over 5 years old is unsafe and should be replaced. Tread life is not a good indicator as the rubber itself is dried out and gets hard and slippery.
Sounds like you should be a good new rider but please enroll in rider training to give you a leg up on developing your skills. Hubby is not an instructor no matter how long he has ridden.
Rider training and a copy of "Proficient Motorcycling" by David Hough will do wonders for your skills development.
