Every biker I've talked to has had their moments where their confidence has fallen short - even if just for a few seconds. I'd hate to see someone give up just because they're a little nervous.
Everyone else has given awesome advice (...going to take some of it myself...), so I say good luck m00sie

What you need is a can of harden up.
Moosie. There si no substitute for experience. Yes you will crash. So does everyone. Hell I crashed twice in the first 2 weeks of riding. Then once in the coromandel and once on my driveway when I was on my restricted so even though I could ride (waits for snarky reply) shit still happens. My folks got pretty harsh about the stuation at the beginning but they settled down soon enough. So just go do it. As Quartida says everyone looses thier confidence at some point hell I still do when the old bitch decides to slide all over the road but the only way to get over it is to take a few deep breaths and keep riding.Speed has nothing to do with how you ride. It's all about technique. If you develope a good technique you won't run into problems when applying a bit more speed as your confidence increases.

Ofcourse I can ride slow.
And still crash.
Lump lingered last in line for brains,
And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...
