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.
I had taken the course, it was very helpful. I think it was a fluke thing. That and the course bike was a Honda rebel, not a street bike. That was almost a year ago and, knock on wood, i haven't done anything like that since.
The only thing I'm still a bit sketchy on is the metal grated bridges. Can do them, just don't like them!
