Talk me through slow riding

[Sossige]

Hi all -

I have a road only session part of my CBT booked up for later this week. I have made massive progress recently, but the thing that needs smoothing off is my slow speed riding.

At times, I can do it at the drop of a hat. Other times it becomes more difficult, in particular when I am slow riding after decreasing speed. I seem to be able to slow ride from standstill more easily, but when I turning into some junctions, I go in a little hot

I've been taught to ride with the clutch at bite point, revs constant and ride against the rear brake, using only the rear brake to control the bike speed. I need to get out of letting the revs drop as well as wanting to use more rear brake when needing to slow down further.

I'd really appreciate any thoughts people have about slow speed riding - what worked best for you when learning it and how do you handle slow speed riding after reducing speed from normal "cruising" speed? How do you get the bite point in this scenario?

It may be that I am thinking about things too much and need to "just do it"...

Thanks in advance....
