Hi Alison
Congrats on the new bike, just take it easy and don't push yourself and you'll improve your confidence in no time.

Hi Allison,
Welcome aboard.
At slow speeds try using more or only rear brake and ride the clutch a bit. The rear brake will give you more stability at slow speeds. Vacant car parks or industrial areas on Sundays are a good place to practice. Like everything new, give it a little time and you will wonder what you were worried about.
