I'd just read a great article about low speed control being the best for confidence and awareness in all situations.  The brunt of the article was that at low speeds, you're looking laterally, as well as where you're trying to point the bike.  You're also relying on your coordination (no visuals) to control the clutch, throttle and brake.

Suggestions earlier of taking  Total Control  course or even doing parking lot drills would go a long way to help you.

+1.  I think the sketches are better than photo's or a video for showing technique.  Amazing and talented group we have here, artists, members building their own titanium frames and who knows what else.
