Whilst I am not one that should throw stones but me thinks you kind of leave that shit for the track.
Whilst I know I am one to do it, it is also while I gave up road riding. I was only having fun when I was riding and doing stuff that really doesn't make you very safe on the road.
Grip levels have heaps of variable but let me compare a few for you
Track = tyres, PSI and grip level.
Road = as above + oil patches, Tarmac changes, bumps, camber changes, white lines, leaf litter and much much more.
Just some food for thought.
However if you want to learn, I really suggest you learn on dirt. On dirt you rarely have full traction (front or rear). That will teach you to feel comfortable with the bike moving around underneath plus you can practice holding the big power slide with decking your roadie.
Once you learn that you will learn how to weight your pegs to control the trJectory of the slide plus keeping gradule throttle movements to get the slide happening and hold it there while still moving forward.
I do reccomend you try sliding at a higher pace. The extra forward inertiata will encourage the rear not to stray to far wide, out of line from the front which will discourage highside possibilities.
