Thanks for posting the vid. I'm going to try those bike control routines.

I tend to control my bike at very low speed with:
* rear brake on
* 1st gear
* revs up at a constant 4k
* clutch very slightly disengaged

I then adjust speed using the rear brake.

Unfortunately I can't easily use my throttle to moderate my speed at low speed. The throttle on my bike is really jerky and imprecise and has been for a while now. I've given up on trying to get it restored to how it was when the bike was almost new. I just have to do things a bit differently.
