its ok. when i was learning at action. i dropped the stupid honda rebel every 5 mins. no joking!! i hated that thing. but i felt it helped me immensely because it got me to learn the boundaries of a motorcycle during low speed, what i had to do to make it turn sharply while doing walking speed. if you feel your getting discouraged, go to a parking lot and redo all the stuff you learned in school, bring an experienced friend with you to help. practice your low speeds all over again, your duck walking, etc. tip toeing on your bike isn't that bad, i do that on my 06 gsxr600, and im 5'5. so if i can do that, theres no excuse for you, other that practice, practice, practice. learn to adjust your body on the bike so when you come to a stop, you can flat foot on your left side. parking lot is your best friend. but more importantly, relax!!! the more tense you are the harder it is for your muscles to do its job for you. besides, you should be having fun on the bike, not scared shitless of it
