Ouch. I would have ridden to a different petrol station after that

We all make silly mistakes sometimes. I take it you've been on a motorcycle training course where they teach you slow speed bike control?

Might be worth practising your slow speed stuff in a safe environment like a car park where you don't have other distractions so you can build your confidence up.
