  Some bikes are difficult to ride at low speeds. Old British bikes are very easy to ride slow. What Rocker says works for some.. I ride slow by slipping the clutch slightly for a few seconds then pull in the clutch and coast a bit, then repeat....I always have my feet on the pegs unless I'm actually stopped...I see riders in traffic with their feet dangling down all the time when going 5 mph...it's a recipe for a fall over in my opinion...

KraZ.  This Vid may help.  Watch the rider's hands on the bars and placement of feet when coming to a stop.  Full size Guzzi.   :grin:

Exactly, and it's a heavy bike with reverse gear shift pattern!

 Not reverse, the correct pattern   :grin: When she is on the bike alongside the robed man at a slow walking speed...Is she actually riding the bike...or is the bike on a low platform being pulled?

With her riding skills, my guess would be that she's riding it.  She has the clutch pulled in a little and she's using the throttle but it's "Hollywood" and anything is possible. :wink:
