Completely agree with all of these. Thanks!My tips on avoiding situations like this are:
1) Don't stop unless dead straight and balanced, Front wheel straight. Braking with the wheel turned can throw you over to the side.
2) If riding with a passenger consider stopping and letting them off before tight low speed maneuvers.
3) At low speeds ALWAYS keep it in gear. I have put it in neutral at low speed causing a drop when I needed a little power.
4) Work with the Bike and it's weight, working against them can get you injured or at the very least embarrassed.
5) GRAVITY WORKS EVERY TIME Count on it.
