Parking Lot Practice - Milestone? or Potential Tombstone?

Hi and congrats! It sounds like you have very good slow speed riding skill, which is something I'm always struggling with. On the "Ride Like A Pro" video with "Motorman" Palladino, he's always saying that scraping the pegs in slow speed parking lot practice means you're finding the lean limits of the bike and it's nothing to worry about, it just means you're doing it right!

I really should practice my low speed manoeuvering more. I was the only one in my MSF class to go outside the box on the u-turns. I think they still spook me. Your description of exactly how you set up for the turn sounds absolutely textbook perfect, and has inspired me to go and do some parking lot practice of my own. I'd like to have that kind of confidence.
